ANJ Appoints Christel Fiorina as Director of Markets Compliance and Players Protection

French gaming regulator l’Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ) has appointed Christel Fiorina as its new Director of Markets Compliance and Players Protection.

In her new role, she will oversee the economic regulation of the French gambling market, by controlling the commercial and promotional strategies of operators.

In addition, Fiorina will also be tasked with taking charge of preventing excessive gambling and focusing on player safety. The risk of problem gambling is something the ANJ has paid close attention to, as it recently formed a key part of the body’s five-year strategy.

From 2016 to 2020, Fiorina served as the Directorate-General for Enterprises; she was in charge of designing and deploying national strategies for the Ministry of the Economy and Finance. This included promoting the video game, esports and sports sectors.

Most recently, she was Deputy Director at the Ministry of Transport since 2021; in this role she powered policies for the digital transformation of the national road network.
