With plenty of movers and shakers around the industry, allow CasinoBeats to give you the rundown on a number of recent manoeuvres.
Push Gaming
Nicola Longmuir has been appointed as chief commercial officer of Push Gaming, in a move that the developer hopes will further boost in global footprint across a range of key markets.
Said to form “a key centre piece in Push Gaming’s business development plans,” Longmuir will be spearheading the company’s strategic goals for marketing, product and sales, as well as cultivating existing relationships with its growing global operator portfolio.
James Marshall, CEO at Push Gaming, commented: “Nicola Longmuir is a highly skilled professional boasting a wealth of successful experience working for some of our industry’s best-known brands, and we are thrilled to have her aboard.
“We see this hire as a gamechanger for us and we’re sure Nicola will prove to be a massive boost towards reaching our goal of becoming a market leader.”
Pragmatic Play
Online casino content provider Pragmatic Play has expanded its senior team further still after appointing Solomon Godwin as content manager for the African region.
Following hot on the heels of the appointment of Victor Arias as VP of Latin America, Godwin will gain responsibility for growing the firm’s network of partners across the region and expanding its reputation with the help of the supplier’s multi-product portfolio.
Pragmatic Play’s developmental strategy will be focused on ensuring its product suite enhances its presence across the continent.
Lena Yasir, VP of Malta at Pragmatic Play, stated: “We are delighted to bolster our growing senior team with the hiring of Solomon. Having regional leaders allows us to accelerate our expansion through a sizeable presence in the region and we’re thrilled to have Solomon on board.”
1X2 Network
Former NetEnt and Red Tiger hire Rory Kimber has been drafted by 1X2 Network, with the game developer and content aggregator strengthening its senior team with a new head of account management.
Kimber will be tasked with heading up the account management team at 1X2 Network and its subsidiaries 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio, as well as taking the lead on commercial projects affecting the providers client base, including those such as the Branded Megaways product.
He will also strive to utilise his extensive knowledge and experience to drive growth commercially and setting and deploying strategies for communicating with clients new and existing. Kimber will also build out the team by onboarding new talent.
Kevin Reid, chief commercial officer at 1X2 Network, said: “I am delighted to welcome Rory to the company and for him to lead our Account Management team into what is a hugely exciting period for the business and our 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio brands.
“Branded Megaways is our latest innovation and we have plenty more in the pipeline. Rory will play a key role in introducing our products, games and services to new and existing partners as we look to establish 1X2 Network as a tier one provider in markets around the world.”
Entertainment Laboratories
Entertainment Laboratories is on the lookout for a new chief financial officer after current incumbent Adam Jonsson announced his attention to leave the company.
Having served for just over two years in total at the company, Jonsson first joined Enlabs as group controller and gained responsibility for investor issues, before his appointment as CFO in December 2019.
Jonsson will remain in office until he leaves Enlabs in October 2020, with the process of appointing a replacement having subsequently begun.
“Adam has played an important role within Enlabs and has contributed a lot to our development. I will miss our close cooperation and wish Adam all the best in his further career,” commented Enlabs CEO George Ustinov.
