What's Happening at FunTech? FunTech is a skill gaming group that operates from Toronto and London. And though the company had an all-star line-up of top executives, they also just announced that the company has four executive management changes. The online casino gambling industry is currently changing drastically on a global scale, and skill gaming is also increasing in popularity. But given all of that, four of the Directors at Funtech announced that they were parting ways with the company, and would be replaced with new executives equally qualified in the online casinos and skill gaming industries.
Perhaps the most startling change at FunTech is the departure of Andrew Rivkin. Rivkin has a long-standing history of successful companies involved in the online casino industry, and he is also a co-founder of FunTech. The other co-founder, Lorne Abony, has not announced plans to leave the company those so many others are. Rivkin’s other industry related companies includes the prestigious CryptoLogic. Rivkin is one of the original founders at CryptoLogic which provides top-quality online casino games and platforms.
FunTech has founded in 2002, and this year’s large management changes in the most significant change to-date in the company’s upper level management. Part of FunTech’s success can be attributed to Liberty Media, which has a controlling interest in FunTech, and now that four executives are leaving, Liberty will have another party on the executive board representing Liberty’s interests.
A rundown on the management changes: Leaving the company are Mark Carleton, Harvey Solursh, and John Albright, in addition to Rivkin already mentioned. All partied leaving FunTech have agreed that the spilt is amiable and for no dire reasons. To replace the four executives moving on to other ventures in the online casinos industry and beyond are J. David Wargo, William Brock, and David Hill (the representative for Liberty Media).
