Playtech plc, a gambling software development company in gaming industry, has announced that Anna Massion will step down from her role as a non-executive director on 28 February 2025. Massion, who joined the company’s board in April 2019, has decided to leave to explore new opportunities.
Four years of service in Playtech
During her tenure, Massion has played a pivotal role in guiding Playtech through a period of transformation and growth. Her contributions were particularly significant during a challenging phase for the company, which included strategic decisions like the proposed sale of Snaitech and achieving record-breaking financial results in 2023.
Talking on her departure, Brian Mattingley, Playtech’s non-executive chairman, said, “On behalf of the Board, I’d like to express our sincere thanks to Anna for her valuable contribution since being appointed in 2019.
“She has shown the utmost commitment and dedication during a period of significant change for the Company, which this year alone has included the proposed sale of Snaitech and record sets of results. We wish her all the best in her future roles.”
Ongoing industry presence
While stepping down from Playtech, Massion continues her active involvement in the gaming sector. She remains a non-executive director at Gaming Realms, BetMakers Technology Group, and American Gaming Systems. Her extensive experience and strategic insights will undoubtedly continue to influence the industry.
Playtech is set to commence its search for a new non-executive director to replace Massion.
Upcoming general meeting for key decisions
In related news, Playtech announced a general meeting scheduled for 19 December 2024, where shareholders will vote on two significant proposals:
- A revised directors’ remuneration policy.
- The introduction of two new long-term incentive plans.
These measures align with Playtech’s vision to retain top talent and drive long-term growth.
Market response
Following the announcements, Playtech’s shares (LSE:PTEC) rose by 1.11 per cent, trading at 731.00 pence per share on Wednesday. This reflects continued investor confidence in the company’s strategic direction.
