The statement quoted Steve Gallaway, GMA’s managing partner, as saying: “The depth and experience that Becky brings to our team is extraordinary as we continue to work with our clients around the globe. From sports betting to overall regulation, Becky continues to be a leader in gaming, and that will only strengthen our ability to serve our clients.”
GMA has produced a number of white papers covering the casino industry, including in Asia. The firm has also acted as a consultant on a number of casino investment projects.
The gaming consultancy says it “has a significant history in advising clients in South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Macau, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Cambodia and Eastern Russia”. The firm also serves clients in North America’s casino gaming and hospitality sectors.
Friday’s release also quoted Ms Harris as saying: “I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with GMA and their current and future partners in helping to set the standard around the globe for models in policy and regulation.”
