The gambling software company said Anna Massion and John Krumins would join the board immediately. Massion is US-based and has worked in investment banking and asset management for 15 years. She has invested in several gambling companies and is a sector expert, Playtech said.
Krumins, a former investment banker, is chairman of Wavex Technology, an IT provider for businesses, and has advised technology companies. He also has regulatory experience after working as a panel member for the UK’s competition regulator for five years.
Playtech said Chairman Alan Jackson has been working to refresh the FTSE 250 company's board since its last annual meeting in May. He has been looking for directors with experience in digital, data-led industries, corporate finance and regulation.
Jackson said: “John's extensive board-level experience, coupled with Anna's deep sector knowledge, will allow the board to support Playtech's role as the leading gambling technology company in regulated markets.”
