INTERGAMINGi: Congratulations on your new role! How did it transpire that you were to take the CEO job?
John Coleman: “The restructure was planned some time ago, and I’ve played a leading role in managing the business for the past 14 years, so this is far from new territory for me. But of course, I am immensely excited and proud to be leading Microgaming. It’s an honour to be CEO.”
Upon the official announcement of your appointment as CEO, you mentioned this as a “momentous” time for the business, with exciting new opportunities ahead. Could you expand on this? “Microgaming is moving forward with new direction and leadership.
