Christopher Spears is joining gaming technology company IGT as senior vice president and general counsel to lead its legal team.
Spears will be responsible for overseeing all legal and corporate governance matters. He will report to IGT executive vice president and CFO Alberto Fornaro and replaces Neil Abrams.
“As IGT faces significant opportunities in our rapidly evolving industry, Chris Spears’ skills and depth of experience with an international Fortune 500 company will foster strong partnerships with IGT’s leadership and ensure that we responsibly meet our growth objectives,” said Fornaro.
“Neil Abrams has been a valued member of the senior executive team at IGT. He played a key role in supporting the company through critical activities during and after the merger completion. We thank him for his service, and wish him well in this new chapter of his life."
