Amaya anticipates Chhabra will join the company in September 2017, following a brief garden leave from William Hill plc.
"Robin Chhabra's deep industry experience and vast professional network will help us pursue our ongoing strategic priorities, as well as drive growth through potential strategic and other opportunities," said Mr. Ashkenazi. "Robin is one of the most respected executives in the industry, and we are excited to add him to our team, where he will complement our existing executive management talent."
"Amaya is already a leader in online gaming, and I am eager to contribute to the company's future growth," said Mr. Chhabra. "I have tremendous respect and a strong relationship with the management team and look forward to working with them."
Chhabra's arrival is the latest management addition to Amaya, following the recent hiring of Bo Wänghammar as Managing Director of PokerStars Casino and Zeno Ossko as Managing Director of BetStars, and the promotion of Guy Templer as Chief Operating Officer of Amaya's brands.
