Bio
Nigel Blower
Marios was a key member of my team, where he was responsible for staging events and managing our team of sponsored professionals and celebrities. In this role he demonstrated exceptional project management skills, delivering a wide range of events including TV shows, Caribbean Poker Cruises and live events across Europe and in Las Vegas. He also proved to be an effective communicator, motivating colleagues, agencies, suppliers, trade media and sponsored players to contribute to the delivery of Europe’s finest poker events. He has extensive knowledge of online gaming marketing and has successfully designed and implemented a range of acquisition and affiliate programs. It was a pleasure working with Marios and I look forward to having the opportunity to work with him again.
