Maxima Compliance continues to grow with new hires
The firm expands its global team with two new senior hires as it continues its approach of securing local talent
Maxima Compliance has added to its global team by bringing on board two new senior hires, with Andrew Burgoyne as head of regulatory and Mike de Graaff as the firm’s regional compliance manager for the Netherlands.
Burgoyne joins the consultancy firm after more than three years as compliance manager at Flutter. He had previously worked for Sky and the Advertising Standards Authority and will be based at the firm’s London headquarters.
The new regional compliance manager for the Netherlands, de Graaff, joins Maxima after previously holding roles at major gaming operators including ComeOn and Betclic Group. De Graaff will oversee the regulatory and technical compliance needs of the firm’s partners in the Netherlands and help them to optimise their compliance functions.
These appointments are in keeping with the consultancy firm’s global approach to recruiting local talent.
Antonio Zanghi, CEO of Maxima Compliance, said: “I’m delighted to welcome both Andrew and Mike to the team. We are focused on both expanding our global team of regulatory and technical compliance experts, while also adding regional managers who can deliver local knowledge and support directly to clients. Our partners in jurisdictions around the world continue to enjoy the benefits of this approach.”
Burgoyne added: “It is a pleasure to join a team with unparalleled expertise across compliance. Maxima is already assisting some of the biggest names in gaming with their regulatory compliance needs, and I look forward to further raising the bar for our partners when it comes to this critical business function.”
On his new appointment, de Graaff said: “I’m thrilled to join the Maxima Compliance team, and I’m particularly excited to help build our presence in the Netherlands from this new office. This is a challenging but high-reward market, where those who draw upon local expertise are already outpacing the competition.”
In January, Maxima Compliance opened a new office in the Netherlands as a joint venture with local business consulting firm Gran Via BV.
