Alexander Sosnovski — Experience

Overview

From The Felt To The Boardroom

Alexander's career began on the casino floor itself, not behind a keyboard. Over 11 years at Casino de Montréal, he worked his way from croupier to table inspector — real, physical experience in licensing enforcement, payment handling and operator conduct that most iGaming writers only ever read about. He later took that floor-level discipline abroad: a stint in patent strategy and IP development at Yandex in Moscow, then marketing consulting for BetVoyager.com in the UK, before becoming CEO of Pasino.ch (Groupe Partouche) and building Switzerland's first regulated online casino, then COO/CMO of Asia Gaming and Marketing Director/CMO of OKBET across the Philippines, Japan and South Korea — before bringing all of it, 20+ years in the industry, to Casino.ca as the network's authority on Quebec's market, in both French and English.
