About Samy Reeb

Samy Reeb, an independent non-executive director, was immediately appointed by Playtech.

Reeb, who will join the Playtech board of directors, has experience working with global organizations in wealth and tax advisory.

He began his career in tax advising at Ernst & Young and tax management at Credit Suisse before moving on to wealth management as an executive director at Julius Baer and managing partner at 1291 Group.

Reeb established a business advising Asian ultra-high net worth clients on their finances.

The CFO of Playtech has resigned.

Andrew Smith, Playtech’s CFO, announced his resignation in November for personal reasons. Smith has been Playtech’s CFO since March 2015 and its investor relations director for the past seven and a half years.

Playtech agreed to let him go on November 28th.

Since November 2018, Chris McGinnis, Playtech’s deputy of investor relations and strategic research, has served as CFO and executive director in place of Smith.
