Playtech has announced the departure of its Chairman, Brian Mattingley, who will step down following a transition period to oversee the appointment of his successor.
Mattingley, who joined Playtech’s board in 2021, was involved in key strategic changes, including the sale of Snaitech and the company’s shift towards a B2B-focused model.
The board has also confirmed a restructuring of its committees. From 1 March 2025, the Regulatory & Compliance and Sustainability Committees will be merged into a single entity, the Sustainability & Compliance Committee, chaired by Linda Marston-Weston.
Samy Reeb will replace Anna Massion as Chair of the Remuneration Committee and will continue to serve as a member of the Audit & Risk Committee.
Mattingley said: "It has been an absolute privilege to serve as Chair of Playtech and to help steward this important phase of growth and transition. I am proud of the milestones we have achieved and embark on a new chapter as a predominantly pure-play B2B business.”
Playtech CEO Mor Weizer added: "Brian has been an outstanding Chair, offering invaluable guidance and dedication to the team during a time of significant transformation at Playtech.”
Good to know: Further updates regarding Playtech’s leadership transition and board restructuring are expected in the coming months.
In January 2025, Playtech launched its bingo platform in the Netherlands through a partnership with Nederlandse Loterij, integrating over 20 exclusive in-room games via the Winnitt platform.
The move follows Playtech’s previous launch of live casino products in Finland through Veikkaus as part of its strategy to strengthen its presence in regulated markets.
