Tom has over 33 years' experience in senior operations roles for

all revenue generation and technology transformation across the
company and will report directly to the CEO. The Board has
discussed and concluded Mr Preising will not be classified as a
PDMR (Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities) for the
purposes of UK MAR.
John Clarke, Gfinity Chief Executive said: "Tom is a strong
leader who will play an important role in the delivery of the next
chapter in Gfinity's growth story. Gfinity's strategic framework is
now well established, with a focus on commercialising and scaling
'what we own', the Gfinity Digital Media group and our wholly owned
technology IP, including our Tournament Platform. Tom has deep
experience in these areas and will no doubt be instrumental in
supporting the positive trajectory of the business."
Thomas Preising said: "I am very excited to be joining senior
leadership and the rest of the immensely talented team at Gfinity
on the next step of the journey as we solidify our place in the
digital gaming eco-system."
