Added Korpi: “I’m very excited to be working with President Mukesh Gordhan, CTO Andrew Cardno, VP of Sales Garrett Stolle and the rest of the amazing BIS² team. They are truly leading the way in terms of delivering powerful, intuitive and easy-to-use analytics solutions that give casino operators the knowledge they need to increase profits from both gaming and non-gaming operations as well as improving the overall property-wide customer experience.”
