Brian Mattingley to Step Down as Playtech Chairman
After four years at the helm, Brian Mattingley will be stepping down as chair of Playtech.
LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:Mattingley has served as chairman of Playtech's board since April 2021, when he joined after his departure as CEO of 888. His industry expertise includes other senior positions at leading companies like Gala Coral Group, where he served as CFO, and Ritz Bingo, which he led as CEO.
Under Mattingley's chairmanship, Playtech achieved several significant milestones, including the sale of snaitech and the renegotiation of a strategic partnership with Caliplay, a joint venture with Caliente in Mexico. He will remain in the role for several months to assist with the appointment of his successor.
It has been an absolute privilege to serve as chair of Playtech and to help steward the company through an important phase of growth and transition. I am proud of the milestones we have achieved as Playtech prepares to embark on a new chapter as a predominantly pure-play B2B business. It is with that in mind that I feel now is the right time to step down. I would like to thank my fellow board members, the leadership team and, above all, the wider Playtech family for their passion and commitment.
