Yolo Group has appointed Lara Falzon as the Chief Executive Officer of its B2B brands.
Lara Falzon is the second high profile C-suite hire for Yolo Group in 2025, following the appointment of Jean Claude Magri to Chief Financial Officer in January.

The company seeks to scale in online casino and sports betting verticals with significant investment in new technology and partnerships.
“Lara brings exceptional industry insight gained over many years, along with a track record of delivering impressive results. I am delighted to hand over the baton to such a strong leader,” Jose Micallef, CEO at Yolo Group Middle East, said.
