(US).- Scientific Games announced the appointment of Robert White as Chief Operating Officer of its Gaming Division. He will retain his existing responsibility for the development of the Gaming division’s overall business strategy, including its social media and merger and acquisition strategy, while also taking on responsibility for content and product development, yield management and corporate marketing.

This new role is part of the integration of The Global Draw, Games Media and Barcrest, providing a central focus to enable the division to capitalise on the strengths of the three businesses to drive growth in established channels and build the group’s international and interactive businesses.

Commenting on his new appointment, he said, “I am excited about the future of the Gaming division, as new forms of game content and technology provide the opportunity to continue to innovate within an already well-established and diverse group offering.”
 
Ian Timmis, CEO of the Gaming division, said, “Robert has impressive business experience, including his successful career at IGT. He has been an integral part of the senior management team since the Barcrest acquisition and in this new leadership role is ideally positioned to contribute to the continued success of the Gaming division.”
