Alderney AGCC appoints Andrew Gellatly as new Executive Director

The commissioners of the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) have concluded an executive search process, confirming the appointment of Andrew Gellatly as new Executive Director. 

He will serve as the third executive director of the AGCC, replacing outgoing incumbent Jorn Starck, who has led the Commission since 2015.

An expert in igaming media, comms, and research, Gellatly is a former founding team member of industry news sources iGaming Business (iGB) and VIXIO Intelligence (formerly Gambling Compliance).  

Lord Faulkner of Worcester, Chair of the AGCC, said: “Andrew has established himself as a trusted voice in the global gambling industry. His career has been built on independence, impartiality, and deep knowledge of the sector.

“We look forward to Andrew representing the AGCC on the global stage, developing our strategy and ensuring our regulatory approach continues to meet the needs of licensees and operators.”

The AGCC underlined Gellatly’s proven 25-year experience in the online gambling sector, with an extensive professional background in journalism, consulting and research.

Gellatly said: “As the global online gambling market becomes more diversified and complex, there could be no better time for me to join the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.

 “Newly opening markets from Canada to Latin America are creating unprecedented opportunities for global facing businesses, with new products and new delivery channels. I will be extending Alderney’s already established international profile as a collaborative, trusted and supportive regulator working with the highest quality brands and companies.”
