Andrew McIver has returned to the interactive entertainment sector! He’s taken the helm as Chief Executive of Intertain, the organization behind the well-known online gaming name Gamesys. This appointment coincides with other shifts in the company’s leadership structure.
McIver is a familiar face in the sector. He previously served as Chief Executive of Sportingbet, a prominent entity in the online sports wagering realm, before its acquisition by GVC Holdings (currently recognized as Entain). His career also boasts high-ranking roles at the consulting firm Daniel Stewart and the digital sports technology company Chroma Sports.
Earlier this year, Intertain’s former CEO, John Kennedy Fitzgerald, vacated his position. The company had been under scrutiny following a critical assessment from the investment firm Spruce Point Management. Fitzgerald’s exit transpired amidst calls for a shift in leadership emphasis from acquisitions to operational proficiency.
With McIver’s vast expertise and demonstrated history of success, Intertain is clearly indicating its aim to prioritize the enhancement of its operations and the solidification of its standing within the fiercely competitive online gaming market.
Entertainment Inc. has denied the claims presented in the document, asserting they are “baseless in all significant ways.”
The organization also revealed some executive transitions. Neil Goulden, an experienced leader with a quarter-century history in the interactive entertainment sector, will assume the position of Chairman of the Board. Goulden’s notable background encompasses roles like Chief Operating Officer, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman at Gala Coral. He also recently finished his term as Chair of the Responsible Gaming Trust this past January.
Furthermore, there will be a change in the Chief Financial Officer role. Keith Laslop, the present CFO, will be transitioning to the position of President of Intertain Bahamas. Nevertheless, he will maintain his CFO duties until a replacement is designated.
These adjustments follow Intertain’s major purchase last year, in which they acquired all consumer-facing properties of the Gamesys Group for a substantial £4.258 billion.
