Ahearne joined the GiG board in April last year following SkyCity becoming a shareholder in GiG, in connection with the acquisition of Sportnco Gaming SAS.

A GiG statement read: “Ahearne has closely followed the development of GiG during this period and is pleased with GiG’s operations and the company’s position within the igaming industry.

“As SkyCity’s Chief Executive Officer, Ahearne will now focus on his commitments to SkyCity in New Zealand and Australia.

“The board of directors thanks Michael for his contribution to the company.”

Petter Nylander (chairman), Nicolas Adlercreutz, Kathryn Moore Baker, Mikael Riese Harstad, Kjetil Garstad and Hessi Mocca will continue their roles on the GiG board.
