The Dutch gambling regulator (KSA) has selected Michel Groothuizen as its next chairman.<\/p>\n

After the announcement from Jansen about his retirement<\/a>, the search for a new leader started in October of the previous year. Groothuizen, with a background in law and public administration, has recently completed a four-year term as the second-in-command at the Dutch Custodial Institutions Agency (DJI).<\/p>\n

Ric de Rooij, the deputy secretary general at the ministry of justice and security, which oversees the KSA, praised Groothuizen\u2019s appointment. \u201cMichel brings to the KSA a wealth of management experience and a deep understanding of the sector,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is crucial as the gambling sector\u2019s evolution is constant and demands ongoing focus. I am excited to collaborate with Michel,\u201d<\/em> Rooij continued.<\/p>\n

Before this role, Groothuizen was the head of the Netherlands Institute for Forensic Psychiatry and has spent the last fifteen years as a deputy judge at the Arnhem Court of Appeal. From 2001 to 2015, his career was intertwined with the ministry of justice and security, where he played a key role in creating the KSA in 2012 as the policy director.<\/p>\n

Groothuizen reflected on his previous involvement with the gambling sector. \u201cI\u2019ve had a long-standing relationship with gambling policy. Starting in 2007, I played a key role in setting up the Gaming Authority, which we accomplished in 2012,\u201d<\/em> he noted. He also mentioned his earlier efforts on new laws to oversee online gambling. \u201cWe started drafting legislation to control online gambling several years ago. However, it took nearly a decade for the relevant law to be enacted, long after I had moved on,\u201d<\/em> Groothuizen explained.<\/p>\n
