Andrew McIver is making a comeback in the gaming industry! He’s rejoining Intertain as Chief Executive Officer, and he’s bringing in some fresh talent.
McIver, perhaps recognizable from his tenure heading Sportingbet, is assuming leadership at Intertain, the corporation that possesses well-known gaming brands such as Gamesys. This marks a return to familiar territory for McIver, who has an extensive background in the field.
Accompanying him in this new phase is Neil Goulden, who is taking on the position of Chairman. These appointments are in effect immediately, indicating a new beginning for Intertain.
McIver’s return follows John Kennedy FitzGerald’s announcement of his exit earlier this year. FitzGerald’s departure came after a period of scrutiny for Intertain, including a critical analysis from Spruce Point Management that highlighted concerns about the company’s business practices.
With McIver’s expertise and Goulden’s guidance, Intertain aims to overcome these obstacles and set a new direction for the times ahead.
Entertainment Holdings refutes the recent report, deeming it “substantially untrue in all significant areas.”
A seasoned executive, John Goulden, has assumed the role of Chairman, bringing with him over two decades of experience in the gaming sector. His impressive resume includes positions such as Chief Operating Officer, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman at Gala Coral. Additionally, he recently completed his term as Chairman of the Responsible Gaming Trust in January.
In further executive transitions, Keith Laslop, Intertain’s Chief Financial Officer, is taking on the position of Chief Executive Officer of Intertain Bahamas. He will concurrently fulfill both roles until a successor for his CFO duties is appointed.
These developments follow a significant purchase last year, where Intertain invested a substantial £4.258 billion to acquire the customer-facing components of the Gamesys Group.
