GLI's President and CEO James R. Maida

Earlier this month, GLI’s President and CEO James R. Maida spoke with Yogonet about 2022 and what it has meant for the gambling industry, as well as the challenges the testing and certification firm faced throughout the last 12 months.

“2022 was a year of recovery, and the tradeshows that were staged around the world served as powerful symbols of that recovery. From ICE London to G2E in Las Vegas, we had the pleasure of attending each show, supporting our clients and the industry as we move forward together,” he said.

“What has really been exciting over the past year was listening to regulators, operators, and suppliers tell us about their plans for the future, and as everything is pointing to the idea that where 2022 was a year of recovery, 2023 will be a year of acceleration,” he assured.
