Playtech has officially announced that Brian Mattingley will be stepping down as Chair after four years in the role. As part of a structured transition, Mattingley will remain in position for a short period to facilitate the handover to his successor. His departure marks the end of a tenure that saw significant strategic shifts, including the sale of Snaitech and Playtech’s transformation into a predominantly B2B-focused enterprise.
Mattingley, who was appointed Chair in April 2021 following his tenure as CEO of 888, has played a crucial role in Playtech’s strategic evolution. Reflecting on his departure, he stated, “It has been an absolute privilege to serve as Chair of Playtech and to help steward the company through an important phase of growth and transition. I am proud of the milestones we have achieved as Playtech prepares to embark on a new chapter as a predominantly pure-play B2B business.”
Playtech CEO Mor Weizer also expressed his gratitude for Mattingley’s contributions, saying, “Brian has been an outstanding Chair, offering invaluable guidance, constructive challenge, and unwavering dedication to the team during a time of significant transformation at Playtech. We have benefitted enormously from his strong relationships across the industry and his depth of knowledge and experience. His presence on the board will be greatly missed and we wish him the very best.”
