Meridian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MRDN), an international developer, licensor, and global operator of online gaming and e-commerce platforms, today announced a series of executive and Board appointments designed to position the Company for its next phase of disciplined execution and international growth. The leadership changes follow a Board-led succession process and align operating leadership, financial stewardship, and independent oversight with the Company’s strategic objectives.
Zoran Milosevic, who has led Meridianbet for more than 18 years, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Meridian Holdings. He will continue to serve as CEO of Meridianbet, the principal operating business and primary growth and revenue driver of the group. William Scott, who served as Interim CEO since late 2025, will transition to Chief Financial Officer while continuing as Chairman of the Board. Michael Prescott has been appointed as an Independent Director and will serve on the Audit Committee, strengthening the Board’s governance, regulatory, and public company oversight capabilities.
In connection with these changes, Rich Christensen, the Company’s CFO, will leave the Company. The Board thanked Mr. Christensen for his service and contributions.
The new leadership structure enhances executive accountability and positions Meridian to execute its long-term strategic objectives. According to the press release, the appointments follow the Company’s second-quarter 2026 results, released separately today, and reflect its continued focus on disciplined execution, governance, and sustainable long-term growth.
William Scott, Chairman and incoming CFO, said: “Over the past seven months, we have worked to strengthen the operational and financial foundations of the Company and reinforce the balance sheet. This leadership structure change gives Zoran clear accountability for day-to-day execution while I focus on financial stewardship, capital allocation and Board leadership. Michael’s appointment adds valuable independent expertise and further strengthens our governance and audit oversight.”
Zoran Milosevic, CEO, said: “Meridian has built a strong operating platform over many years. My priority is to build on that foundation, bring the same operating discipline that has driven Meridianbet’s performance to the broader Company group, strengthen our position across regulated markets and create long-term value for shareholders.”
The appointments come as Meridian Holdings, headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, operates as a B2B and B2C gaming technology group across more than 20 regulated markets. The Company’s B2C division is led by Meridianbet Group, a leading online sports betting and gaming operator founded in 2001 and licensed across Europe, Africa, and South America.
