Leading industry supplier Light & Wonder has announced a leadership transition within its Asia team, with Glenn Huybrecht promoted to Vice President & Managing Director, Asia. Ken Jolly has transitioned to the role of VP Strategic Development, Asia.
Huybrecht, who joined the company in January 2024, was formerly Chief Operating Officer, Asia and has spent the past year working closely with Jolly and the commercial team. He will now lead the Asia-based commercial team and their outcomes while representing the region across the Light & Wonder business.
“The Asia region will be a primary focus area for the company and we’re confident this group, under Glenn’s leadership, can deliver a key part of our company’s mission,” said Light & Wonder SVP and Managing Director International, Simon Johnson.
“It’s an exciting time for our Asia business and I am very excited to see the impact that Glenn will have as we continue to drive for rapid growth.”
Industry veteran Jolly will be responsible for business development in new markets such as Japan and Thailand and will continue to manage the company’s systems business in Asia among other responsibilities.
“Ken’s extensive experience and leadership will be invaluable as we navigate new challenges and opportunities in the region together and he has a vital role in developing and expanding our business,” Johnson added.
“We are excited about the combined expertise of Glenn and Ken and the positive impact they will have on our organization as we continue to meet our strategic objectives in Asia. Both have worked closely together to ensure a smooth transition and as such it’s business as usual thanks to their hard work this past year.”
