Coleman will leave the role on 31 December 2021. He was appointed as the company’s CEO in June 2018, having previously served as CFO for almost 14 years.

He has driven the group’s strategy and vision, diversified its product offering, and elevated its position in the global market, noted Microgaming.

“I am honoured to have led Microgaming as CEO – such an incredible business and people,” said Coleman. “After 17 years at the company, this is a natural time for me personally to embark on the next adventure. 

“Microgaming has a strong leadership structure in place and an exciting future ahead, and I am delighted to announce Andrew Clucas as my successor. Andy is a brilliant colleague, friend and leader, and I have every confidence that he will steer Microgaming to new success.”

Clucas joined the group in 2009, and has headed up various operational areas of the business, before being appointed COO in January 2018.

Clucas commented: “John has been an outstanding leader and ambassador of the business for almost two decades, and I cannot praise him highly enough for his many achievements and contributions. 

“I am delighted to be picking up the mantle from him – being appointed CEO of Microgaming is an incredible honour, and I intend to lead the business with the very same passion and commitment.”
