Burda will work with Inspired’s global leadership team to develop the company’s product offering and market penetration in strategic regions.

“Gerhard is a hugely respected and insightful industry leader, and we welcome his joining our team,” said Luke Alvarez, CEO of the group. “Inspired is in a decisive phase of expansion and experienced thinkers from within the industry – of whom Gerhard is one of the smartest – are crucial to the company’s success.”

Burda spent eight years as managing director and CEO of Atronic before becoming senior vice president at GTECH/Lottomatica. During this time, the company entered new markets, such as the Italian AWP and VLT sectors.
