Currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has named Phil Harrison to the position of Senior Manager Regulator Development, Compliance & Quality Assurance for GLI Australia. Harrison will operate out of the company’s laboratory in Adelaide, Australia.
In his new role, Harrison will work closely with regulators and clients throughout GLI’s Australian and Asian marketplaces.
GLI Australia CEO Ian Hughes said, “We are very excited to welcome Phil to the GLI Australia team. His extensive and diverse experience, combined with his commitment and dedication to standards and responsible gambling, make Phil an incredibly valuable asset to GLI and to our clients throughout the Australia and Asian marketplaces.”
Harrison’s extensive experience in the gaming industry dates back to 1994 when gaming machines were first introduced to South Australia. In his role as inspector, systems auditor and as Manager of Gambling Operations for the South Australia Liquor & Gambling Commissioner, Harrison has worked with all of the major stakeholders throughout Australia and Asia, including regulators, manufacturers, gambling operators, ATFs and monitoring system operators.
