IRINA CORNIDES APPOINTED CEO OF JACKPOTJOY DIVISION
London (UK) 12 June 2017 - Jackpotjoy plc (LSE:JPJ) (the
"Company"), the largest online bingo-led operator in the world, is
pleased to announce the appointment of Irina Cornides as CEO of the
Jackpotjoy division.
The Company's Jackpotjoy division, which is its largest division
and has a 22% market share in the UK, was acquired from the Gamesys
Group in April 2015 on an earn-out, and its main brands -
Jackpotjoy, Starspins and Botemania - currently operate on
proprietary software owned by Gamesys. Irina Cornides in her new
role will act as the primary point of contact and a management
intermediary between Jackpotjoy plc and Gamesys. Irina will be
tasked with maintaining the existing strong relationship between
the two parties, along with helping to set the strategic direction
for the Jackpotjoy division and overseeing the running of the
brands after the earn-outs conclude. Irina will report to
Jackpotjoy plc CEO, Andrew McIver.
Irina was most recently Chief Revenue Officer of Intertain
Bahamas', the holding company for the operating assets belonging to
Jackpotjoy plc, where she was responsible for harnessing synergies
across the Company's P&L divisions and creating strategies to
drive growth. Irina joined Intertain through the acquisition of
Mandalay Media in 2014, where she served as Managing Director.
Her prior industry experience spans over a decade and includes
roles at Party Gaming (bwin.party / GVC) both pre-and-post IPO.
Irina holds a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Economics from the
University College London and a Master of Science (MSc) in
Management from the London School of Economics.
Jackpotjoy CEO, Andrew McIver, said: "We are delighted that
Irina has accepted a key role in our operating subsidiary, as she
brings a wealth of experience and has demonstrated her ability to
successfully grow and maintain our businesses. Irina has a deep
understanding of the Jackpotjoy business and our relationships with
Gamesys, who fully support her appointment."
Commenting on her new role, Irina Cornides added: "I am very
excited about this role. Although Jackpotjoy is already the leading
bingo brand in the UK, we have big plans to further enhance player
experience and grow the business. I look forward to working with
the team to deliver the next phase of the Jackpotjoy vision."
