Ainsworth Appoints Former CEO Danny Gladstone as its Board Chairman

Ainsworth Game Technology has appointed former chief executive Danny Gladstone as the new chairman of its board. Gladstone became chief executive at Ainsworth in 2007 and stepped down in June, but continues to serve on the board as a non-executive director.

“We are pleased to welcome Danny to his new position as Chairman of Ainsworth Game Technology following the AGM. This appointment provides us with a greater ability to utilise Danny’s vast industry experience and strong customer relationships. I look forward to working closely with him to drive future growth and profitability,” Lawrence Levy, chief executive of Ainsworth said.

The current chairman Graeme Campbell will continue to serve as a non-executive director after he steps down, as well as the newly-recreated role of lead independent director.

“We are also reinstating the role of lead independent Director. This recognizes the importance of governance and independence in ensuring the Board operates effectively. Graeme will provide leadership to the independent directors and advise the Board on matters where there may be an actual or perceived conflict of interest. We appreciate Graeme’s much-valued contribution to Ainsworth and we look forward to working with him in this role,” Levy added.
