Title
Olympic Entertainment Group teeb mitmeid muudatusi grupi juhtimisstruktuuris
Message
Olympic Entertainment Groupi (OEG) senine juhatuse esimees Armin Karu ja juhatuse liige Mart Relve lahkuvad alates 14. augustist grupi juhatusest ning jätkavad tööd ettevõtte nõukogus. OEG juhatajana jätkab üheliikmelises juhatuses senine juhatuse liige Andri Avila. Muudatused nõukogus peab kinnitama aktsionäride erakorraline üldkoosolek, mis toimub 14. augustil. Muudatused grupi juhtimisstruktuuris loovad selgema jaotuse juhtkonna võtmeisikute vastutusalades. Nõukogu asub Armin Karu eestvedamisel senisest oluliselt aktiivsemalt juhtima grupi arengustrateegiat. „Otsustasime grupi juhtimise muuta selgemaks - nõukogu pühendub meie laienemisplaanide elluviimisele ning juhatus grupi tegevuse juhtimisele,“ kommenteeris struktuurimuutusi OEG juhatuse praegune esimees Armin Karu. „Sisuliselt säilib senine tööjaotus, kus minu juhtida on olnud laienemisstrateegia, kuid viime uues struktuuris selle operatiivjuhtimisest lahku,“ lisas Karu. Juhataja Andri Avila vastutab grupi igapäevase tegevuse eduka juhtimise eest. Grupi tasandil varem puudunud kasiinooperatsioonide direktori kohal töötab juba alates 1. maist senine Olympic Casino Eesti juht Tarmo Kase. Kokku on uue struktuuri järgi Andri Avila otsealluvuses 10 valdkonnadirektorit, kelle keskmine tööstaaž OEG juhtivatel ametikohtadel on üle viie aasta. „Meil on suurepärane meeskond, mis on osalenud kogu viimaste aastate kiires laienemisprotsessis ning juhtinud edukalt kiiresti kasvanud organisatsiooni,“ rõhutas Avila grupi juhtkonna kogemusi ja kõrget motivatsiooni. Ettevõtte nõukogus jätkavad Armin Karu ja Mart Relve liitumise järel ka senised nõukogu liikmed Jaan Korpusov, Liina Linsi, Peep Vain ja Anders Galfvensjö. Praegune nõukogu liige Kaia Karu taandab augustis toimuva üldkoosoleku järel ennast OEG nõukogu tööst.

Title
Olympic Entertainment Group to make several changes in its management structure
Message
Armin Karu, current Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of Olympic Entertainment Group (OEG) and Management Board member Mart Relve will be resigning from the Management Board from 14 August and continue work in the Supervisory Board of OEG. Andri Avila, current member of the Management Board, will continue as the Chairman in the one-member Management Board and CEO of the Group. The changes to be made in the Supervisory Board will need approval from the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders that will take place on 14 August. Changes made in the management structure of the Group will create a clearer division in the areas of responsibility between key members of the management. Under the new Chairman Armin Karu, the Supervisory Board will become notably more active in leading and directing the development strategy of the Group. “We decided to simplify management of the Group so that the Supervisory Board will focus on implementing our expansion plans and the Management Board will focus on managing the Group's operations,” said Armin Karu, current Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of OEG, in comment to the structural changes. “In essence, the current work arrangement where I was responsible for the expansion strategy will remain in place, but in the new structure we will separate it from operational management,” added Karu. Andri Avila, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of OEG, will continue with the successful day-to-day management of the Group. Tarmo Kase who until now was the current Managing Director of Olympic Casino Eesti has been working as Head of Casino Operations on the Group level - the position that did not exist before - already from 1 May. Under the new structure, Andri Avila will directly supervise over 10 divisional heads whose average length of employment in executive positions in OEG is more than five years. “We have an excellent team that has been involved in the whole rapid expansion of recent years and successfully managed the quickly growing organization,” emphasized Avila the experience and high motivation of the Group management. Current members of the Supervisory Board of OEG - Jaan Korpusov, Liina Linsi, Peep Vain and Anders Galfvensjö - will continue in the new Supervisory Board in addition to Armin Karu and Mart Relve. Kaia Karu, current member of the Supervisory Board of OEG, will leave the Supervisory Board after the general meeting of shareholders to be held in August.
