Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has announced three director-level promotions, naming Mary Sim as Director of Quality Assurance and appointing Alan Drozd and Robert Lorick as Directors of Engineering.
Sim is based in GLI’s world headquarters in Lakewood, N.J, and has been with GLI since 2006, and previously served as Senior Manager of Quality Assurance.
“Mary’s proven leadership has strengthened global team alignment, driven meaningful process improvements, and, most importantly, cultivated a positive and collaborative work environment, said GLI’s Senior Vice President, Technical Compliance & QA, Chris Gallo. “She leads with respect, empathy, and trust, with a strong focus on delivering the highest quality outcomes. I am confident about the impact her continued commitment will have on the global QA team and our clients as she upholds and advances the GLI gold standard.”
Drozd and Lorick each started their careers with GLI as Test Engineers and most recently served as Senior Managers of Engineering.
Commenting on the promotion of the two directors, Ginnie Hollis, Vice President of Engineering, shared: “Robert is a respected leader who is instrumental in advancing our global digital growth through his expertise, forward-looking mindset, and disciplined execution. He empowers teams to elevate their impact, sets a clear standard for accountability, and fosters a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement that strengthens our business as a whole.”
The Vice President of Engineering at GLI, Andrea Bossard, added, “Alan has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, deep technical expertise, and a strong commitment to delivering value for our clients. His ability to grow key relationships, drive operational excellence, and lead high-performing global teams makes him well-positioned to take on this expanded role and help shape the future of our organization.”
This development follows the company’s recent announcement of a strategic partnership with global investment firm CVC, which has made a strategic investment in GLI through its long-duration Strategic Opportunities platform to support the company’s continued expansion, enhance its capabilities, and drive long-term growth while maintaining its commitment to world-class service across the global gaming industry.
