Meet the team

With over 25 years of experience in casinos, Kevin leads the Ambassadeurs Group. He is an innovator within the gaming industry. Under his leadership AG has diversified its offering to put raising standards and the promotion of good causes at the heart of the business. It is an approach that builds on the strong WorkFamily ethos, which centres on the idea that we are stronger together, and that together we can inspire others to embrace sustainable change.

A long-time promotor of raising standards in gaming, Tracy joined AG from the National Casino Forum, where she was Chief Executive Officer. She continues to advocate positive change across the industry. At AG her primary role is to liaise with stakeholders such as members of Parliament, the regulator and media, as well developing AG’s corporate policies and communication strategy. AG’s socially responsible ethos chimes with Tracy’s own, particularly in embracing and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.

Rob leads the AG finance function and brings to the role extensive experience from working in complex global media companies before he joined Les Ambassadeurs Club in 2010. Commercially focussed – and focused on the Group’s corporate social responsibility – Rob is now helping navigate AG through its next phase of sustainable growth, recognising that the WorkFamily contribution is fundamental to AG’s long-term success.

Her brief involves promoting good causes and volunteering with the AG WorkFamily, as well as seeking out good causes and partners that match the AG aspirations. She has concentrated philanthropy across four areas: Mental health & Wellbeing; Education; Safer Gambling; Our Community. This enables AG to deliver key campaigns throughout the year whilst also supporting charities and causes on an ad-hoc basis.

Oliver graduated in law in 2008 and then decided to travel the world, believing that everything is an education and an experience. He thrived out in the wild making lifelong friends and building extensive contacts. When he returned to the UK, he wanted other people to experience travel as he had. He is able to do that at Ambassadeurs Group Essential Travel Brands, where he advises on the wonderful world – and rewards that come from – travel. His business and legal background combined with his in-depth experience at leading UK travel agencies, ensure he has a unique take on the diverse requirements of luxury, corporate and online travel.
