Incoming land-based gaming president joins from Aristocrat and will be reunited with IGT CEO Hector Fernandez
IGT has appointed former Aristocrat executive Mark Wadley as its new incoming president of land-based gaming.
Subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, Wadley joins IGT from Aristocrat where he served as chief marketing officer for nearly five years.
In his new role, he will lead IGT’s end-to-end land-based gaming business, spanning product, commercial and operational functions.
Wadley will report into IGT CEO Hector Fernandez, who also worked at Aristocrat before joining IGT late last year.
“Mark is a proven leader with a deep understanding of how to connect product, customer insight and commercial execution to drive performance,” said Fernandez. “As we continue to strengthen our Gaming business, bringing these capabilities together under one leader is a critical step in improving how we operate and deliver for our customers. Mark’s experience will help us accelerate that progress.”
Commenting on his appointment, Wadley said: “IGT has all the core elements of a winning gaming business, from differentiated content to global scale and long-standing customer relationships.
“The opportunity now is to operate with greater alignment and discipline, ensuring that how we develop, position, and deliver our products translates more consistently into performance for our customers. That focus on execution will define the next phase of growth.”
