Alderney regulator appoints new exec director

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) has promoted regulatory chief Jorn Stark (pictured) as its new executive director following the imminent departure of André Wilsenach.

Stark, who joined the AGGC in 2007, has been elevated from his role as director of regulatory operations, a position he took up in 2014 having previously been director of compliance.

His promotion comes just weeks after it was announced that Wilsenach would leave the AGCC at the end of January to take up an executive director role at the newly established International Center for Gaming Regulation at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

AGCC chairman Lord Richard Faulkner described the appointment of Starck as an “easy decision” and was confident the regulator would go from “strength to strength” under his leadership.

“Jorn has already over many years been a key player in the AGCC’s success as an egambling regulator, and we are excited about this new chapter in the AGCC’s story,” Lord Faulkner said.

“I am honoured to be offered this position and very excited about the opportunity to lead the AGCC,” Starck added.

“With the strong relationships I already have with industry, government and other stakeholders, together with the support of the commissioners and a very experienced team around me, I am very confident about the future of Alderney as an eGambling jurisdiction.”
