GiG finance director Phil Richards leaves the company

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) finance director Phil Richards has left the company after two and a half years in the role. Richards announced his decision in a LinkedIn post on 2 November and confirmed that he left the company in October.

Richards will take on the role of finance director at Chaos, a design and visualization technology company, in December. He had become GiG's finance director in July 2024. This was his second period in the betting sector. Previously, he spent about six years at Kambi, where he served as group financial controller and senior vice president of finance.

During Richards' time at GiG, the company went through a significant period of change. The company completed its IPO during this period and acquired a majority stake in 888Africa. In his post, Richards said he was very proud of this change. He added that he had left the company in good hands and would continue to follow its developments closely.

Outside the betting sector, Richards also worked at Corero Network Security, Shell and KPMG.
