Ainsworth has announced two new appointments, with Mike Trask as head of studio and Sean Evans as vice president of marketing and product strategy.
Trask has been with Ainsworth for eight years and is vacating the role of vice president of marketing and product strategy.
David Bollesen, Ainsworth’s chief technology officer, said of Trask that he was “instrumental in the creation of our San Bao Pandas and San Bao Dragons games,” which “premiered in Class II and HHR markets and performance was phenomenal.
“I look forward to seeing him continue to grow leveraging instincts and industry knowledge leading the Austin team.”
Evans, meanwhile, joins from Eclipse, where he has served as senior vice president of sales. He has also held roles at Scientific Games, Aruze and Aristocrat.
“Sean will be a steady and energising influence on our marketing and product management teams,” said Deron Hunsberger, Ainsworth’s president of North America. “His vast knowledge and industry experience make him a welcome addition to Ainsworth, and further illustrates our commitment to hiring great talent as we continue to strengthen our position in the industry.”
