Reid was CCO of the online casino content developer and aggregator, but will now take over from St. John, who spent more than 20 years in the role.
St. John, who co-founded the group in 2002, oversaw technical and product teams during his time as CEO. He will now continue in a product role, overseeing aspects of content production and innovation.
“It has been an honour to serve as CEO of 1X2 Network for 20 years and to watch the business grow from a small but ambitious studio into a tier one provider with several subsidiaries and a portfolio of award-winning content,” said St. John.
“From day one we have pursued a strategy of creating games that will engage and entertain players, and to make those games available to operators in regulated markets. It has proved to be a very successful strategy and one that I am proud to have overseen.
“The time is now right for me to step down from the role of CEO and I look to the future knowing that the business is in great hands with Kevin stepping into the top job. I am delighted to continue assisting the company during such an exciting period of growth and have full confidence that we have the right team in place to maintain and extend our current progress.”
Reid joined the group in 2012 and has overseen its commercial strategy. He will now take on responsibility for the overall management of 1x2 Network and its 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries. He will also lead the company’s push into new markets in 2022, and will remain supported by senior commercial staff.
Reid commented: “I would like to thank Sean for his incredible contribution to the business and for making 1X2 Network into the leading content provider and aggregator that it is today.
“His shoes are certainly big ones to fill, but I believe we have phenomenal momentum behind the business, and I look forward to leading 1X2 Network into the next chapter of its success story.”
