New York-listed gaming supplier Inspired Entertainment has named Marilyn Jentzen as interim chief financial officer and principal accounting officer.
Jentzen replaces Stewart Baker, who has resigned from the role after more than nine years’ service with Inspired.
Having previously served as senior vice president of finance for International Game Technology (IGT), Jentzen most recently founded and served as CEO of Innovative Impact Consulting, providing consulting and interim c-level support for publicly-listed and private clients.
She takes over as interim CFO while Inspired’s Board initiates a search process to identify a permanent replacement.
“We are pleased and fortunate to have a leader of Marilyn’s caliber step into the role of interim CFO,” said Inspired president and CEO Brooks Pierce. “Marilyn is a strategic, results-oriented executive with proven success leading, developing and improving multi-national finance operations at publicly listed companies.
“She is well-positioned to support the continued execution of our financial priorities while the Board conducts its search for our new CFO. I’d like to thank Stewart for his many years of service and contributions to Inspired Entertainment.”
Baker will continue to serve the company throughout 2024 to ensure a smooth transition of his responsibilities.
He will also assist Inspired with its restatement efforts after the supplier received a standard notification letter in November from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market as a result of not having filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended 30 September 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Shares in Inspired Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:INSE) closed 1.52 per cent lower at $9.73 per share in New York Tuesday.
