Andrew Smith is stepping down from his chief financial officer and executive director roles at Playtech.
Smith, who is leaving due to personal reasons, has reached a mutual agreement with the company over his decision.
He will leave on November 28, with Chris McGinnis succeeding him as CFO and executive director.
Brian Mattingley, chairman of Playtech, said: “On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Andy for the contribution he has made to Playtech over the past seven years, and in particular since taking over as CFO in 2017.
“Andy has played a crucial role at the company, helping to steer the business through the pandemic including delivering a record half-year performance in H1 2022, and leading the recent successful refinancing of Playtech's external debt in light of the upcoming bond maturity. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
On McGinnis’ move from his current roles as deputy CFO and director of investor relations at Playtech, Mattingley added: “I am delighted that Chris will be joining the board as CFO.
“In addition to his deep knowledge of Playtech and the sector, he brings a strong set of financial and strategic skills that will be invaluable as the company looks to deliver further growth.
“I am very much looking forward to continuing working with him as we execute against our strategy in the coming years."
Prior to joining Playtech, McGinnis was head of corporate strategy at software company Temenos. He started his career at Deloitte in Canada, where he qualified as a chartered professional accountant.
McGinnis then worked in equity research for UBS in Canada and Bank of America Merrill Lynch in the UK.
