New Full-Time CEO Named at LAI Games

April 1, 2011 No Comments

Industry veteran and LAI Games CEO Alan Freimuth will be succeeded by Marshall Ashdown, who has held the position of international sales manager for LAI Games for nearly two years. Ashdown was recruited by Freimuth in 2009 as a planned successor. “My retirement has been planned for some time but I am optimistic about the future so I am pleased to remain as a non-Executive Director so I can contribute to the future development of LAI Games,” Freimuth said.
Ashdown, a former naval officer, has 22 years of experience in sales and management roles, and has spent the last 15 years working in the coin-op industry.
