Lorenzo Pellicioli (pictured) is to retire as chairman but remains as a non-executive director, while Marco Sala, currently CEO, becomes executive chair. Vincent Sadusky will take over as CEO from January 24.

In an explanatory note, IGT said that the changes are to position the company for the next stage in its evolution. “It is a natural evolution for Marco to lead the IGT board. More importantly, during his 19 years at IGT and its predecessor companies, he has a proven track record of success.”
