T
he Global Lottery Monitoring System (GLMS) re-elected Lottomatica’s Ludovico Calvi as its President during its online General Assembly in June, marking his third term in the job. It has been a transformative time for lotteries during his tenure, especially over the past year with lotteries learning to survive and prosper in a COVID world while also helping good causes. SBC: Congratulations on being reelected for a third term as GLMS’ President. What has been a key highlight during your tenure so far? LC: Thank you very much. I am delighted and privileged to have been appointed President of GLMS for a third consecutive term after two very exciting mandates during which we have been able to review the GLMS organisation effectively, invest in human and technical resources, draw new, transparent and more effective processes and governance, and implement new and more efficient statutes which will allow GLMS to grow a diversified membership base involving new strategic sport integrity stakeholders. We have also been able to strengthen relations with key public
and private stakeholders worldwide, define and implement a new communication strategy, and engage and increase our membership base effectively. SBC: What are your plans for GLMS between now and 2023? LC: We have set very solid foundations to drive the success of our association in the titanic fight against match
fixing and to protect sports integrity worldwide. Our strategic drivers are fully focusing on safeguarding GLMS growth while aiming at accomplishing our vision and mission of investing resources in communication, education and operations; market learning and adjusting to new challenges improving GLMS' perception among existing members, and strengthening key stakeholder relations.
