Canadian gaming software provider Chartwell Technology Incorporated has announced the appointment of Daniel Phillips as the new Chief Executive Officer for its Chartwell Games International Limited subsidiary.
Phillips joined Calgary-based Chartwell Games in August as its Vice-President Of Operations and is filling the post left vacant after Lee Richardson accepted the position of Chief Executive Officer for leading Irish bookmaker BoyleSports.
Chartwell Games is the licensing, marketing and business development arm of Toronto-listed Chartwell Technology and Phillips will oversee the subsidiary’s international operations including business development, marketing, sales and expanded client services and operations.
“We are extremely pleased to welcome Dan in his new capacity with the Chartwell team,” said Dave Acorn, Chief Operating Officer for Chartwell
“As we focus on growth, expanded client services and the rollout of new products on our recently launched Chartwell Games Platform, Dan's extensive industry experience and leadership skills will be a valuable asset in achieving our goals of continuing to build Chartwell's presence in our key markets as well as developing new markets.
“We would like to thank Lee very much for his valuable contribution to the company during his tenure and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
Phillips began his career with Ladbrokes and spent seven years in land-based casino operations. Following this, he worked with the Gala Coral Group in its online gaming division for eight years and finished up holding the position of Gaming Director with responsibility for casino, bingo, television and poker operations across multiple channels.
“I am pleased and excited to be taking on this challenge and feel the combination of my time with Chartwell to date and experience across the industry will stand me in good stead as we move into an exciting period of the company's development,” said Phillips.
