2014 represented the larg-
est technology roll-out that
the National Lottery has ever
undertaken and the largest in
Irish retail ever. It required the
connection of 20,000 pieces
of equipment in 3,700 retail
outlets across the country;
44 retailer briefings for over
3,000 retailers; and the in-
troduction of a new website,
online platform and central
telecommunications systems.

ously held the roles of Busi-
ness Development Director
and Finance Director. Prior
to Vodafone, Dermot worked

Beside these initiatives on the player´s side, and operating

port the efforts of his colleagues to adapt to the changes in the
world of lotteries and gambling by redesigning strategy for the
Association. He is promoting an increase in interaction and col-
laboration to deliver more value to the membership of the EL,
while also increasing visibility to stakeholders in Brussels.
Hansjörg started his professional career after studying Eco-
nomics in Münster and Rotterdam. He began in a Daimler-
Benz subsidiary company, focused on marketing consulting and
services, then served in different management positions in mar-
keting and sales, then as client-executive and industry expert.
Within his career, the focus of Hansjörg’s career moved step-by-
step from marketing in the automotive-industry, to informa-
tion-technology, and then over to the public-sector.
Before joining the Lottery business, Hansjörg worked with
Electronic Data Systems (EDS) as Client Executive public-sec-
tor, responsible for EMEA-region and based in Brussels, Frank-
furt and Hamburg. Hansjörg was born in 1964, is married and
