At AGS, Ziems will serve as its Chief Legal Officer. This means he will be responsible for overseeing the legal transactions and activities of the company. He will also lead the compliance affairs, as well as the Latin American and Interactive business strategies.

Ziems will succeed Victor Gallo, who served as the General Counsel for AGS for 12 years. Gallo will take on a new role at the company, as Secretary for the Company.
