Playtech Has New CEO
Mor Weizer is taking over Playtech as the new CEO. Right now, Playtech will
benefit from a shift in upper management rather than merely promoting one
individual. As Weizer moves into the CEO position, the incumbent will take over
as Deputy Chairman. Playtech is an online casino games development company, and
also a turnkey provider.
From the recent information released from this online casino games developer,
Weizer is the ideal candidate for the CEO position. As Senior Operational
Manager Weizer has been an integral part of the Playtech team for nearly two
years (he joined Playtech in 2007)—and now this latest position puts him at the
top of the ladder at the online casino development company so to speak. Weizer
has an established background in accounting, however, was primarily responsible
for overseeing customer relations and technical support for the online casinos
affiliated with TechPlay. Additionally, Weizer has handled all areas surrounding
online casino software licensing at Playtech.
Playtech Chairman Roger Withers released the following statement concerning the
recent shifts in management:
“Playtech is committed to innovation and the development of new products and
services to meet client demands. New business generation is essential to the
company's development and retention of its position as the leading provider of
technology to the international gaming industry and technological innovation.
“It is the Board's firm view that there remains great potential for growth in
the global gaming market and Playtech is well placed to play a fundamental role
in developing this burgeoning sector. In short new business development is
paramount to the business and is the lifeblood of the continuing success of the
Company.
“In this regard, the company has created this new Executive Deputy Chairman
position with responsibility for business development across all regulated
territories which will be taken up by Avigur who has steered the company through
its successful IPO and to the position it enjoys today as a world leading
international designer, developer and licensor of software to the gaming
industry.
“His new role will ensure that the company continues to reap the rewards of his
extensive industry knowledge and entrepreneurial skills. I am pleased to welcome
Mor Weizer. As Playtech's customer base continues to grow and increasingly
includes large multinational clients it is essential that the Chief Executive
has a strong experience of managing complex multi-dimensional client
relationships and Mor is ideally suited to that role. In light of the
significant advances made in the last year under the direction of Avigur, one of
the principal roles of the Chief Executive is now on cementing these advances
while continuing to develop the business.”
