The CEO at the Commission, Jenny William, remarked on Lyman’s new position at the ABB, “We are very sorry to see Andrew go but with his expertise and understanding of the Commission’s work he will continue to contribute to the promotion of socially responsible [land and online casinos] gambling in his new role at the ABB.”

As for Lyman, his new role at the ABB is as a senior executive at the company. His experience working with land and online casinos gambling regulations and responsible gambling programs has well prepared Lyman for his work with the ABB. Lyman comments, "Having been involved in regulation for some years, I am looking forward to joining an organisation with a broad commercial focus. This new role will provide an opportunity to develop my legal, negotiating and other skill sets in a challenging environment.”
