(PRESS RELEASE) -- 888, one of the world’s leading online gaming entertainment and solutions providers, is pleased to announce the appointment of Yariv Dafna as the Group’s new CFO. This appointment follows the Group’s announcement on 14 January 2020 that, after more than 15 years as Group CFO, Aviad Kobrine is stepping down from the role.

Yariv will join the Group on 1 November 2020 and be appointed to the Board on the same date. Aviad will step down from the Board on the same date.

In November 2017, he was appointed to Telit's Board as Finance Director with responsibility for finance, legal, IT and corporate development activities. Mr. Dafna started his career in 1999 at Deloitte Israel and holds a BA in Business Administration and Accounting from the College of Management Academic Studies (Rishon LeZion, Israel), an MBA from Tel Aviv University, and is a Certified Public Accountant.



Brian Mattingley, Chairman of 888, commented: “I am delighted to welcome Yariv Dafna as 888’s new Chief Financial Officer. Yariv's experience and drive made him the standout candidate for the role, and we are very pleased he has decided to join the Group at such an important time in 888’s continued growth and development.



On behalf of everyone at 888, I would like to reiterate my gratitude to Aviad for his significant contribution and achievements over the last 15 years with the Group and we wish him every success for the future.”



Yariv Dafna, incoming CFO of 888, commented: “I am excited to be joining such a fantastic business at a pivotal time in its development. 888 has world-class technology and a unique platform for continued growth in the dynamic global online gaming market. I am looking forward to helping the business continue to deliver against its strategic objectives and create value for all stakeholders.”



Aviad Kobrine, CFO of 888, commented: “I am incredibly proud of what the 888 team has achieved together throughout my time with the business and I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fantastic colleagues with whom I have had the pleasure and honour of working with over the last 15 years.”
