Co-founder and industry veteran Andrew Rivkin departs
The London and Toronto listed skill gaming group Fun Technologies has announced changes at the top, with four directors departing, among them co-founder and industry veteran Andrew Rivkin.
Rivkin and the present CEO and President, Lorne Abony, founded FunTech in 2002, and the giant Liberty Media group is heavily invested and holds a controlling interest in the company, which lists Skilljam among its holdings. Rivkin is one of the founders of the top online gambling turnkey provider and games developer Cryptologic, too.
Leaving with Rivkin are Mark Carleton, Harvey Solursh (another former Crypto exec) and John Albright. Three new board members have been appointed to fill the empty chairs: David Goldhill, a senior advisor to private equity fund Liberty Associated Partners and Current Communications; J David Wargo, president of Wargo & Company, a private investment company specialising in the communications industry and William Brock, who retired from the Toronto-Dominion Bank in January 2000 as deputy chairman and director.
The departures are reported to have been amicable. |
