IGT chief accounting officer to depart supplier after nearly three decades
Tim Rishton has announced he is set to retire at the end of 2024 with David Morgan to take his place
IGT SVP and chief accounting officer Tim Rishton has announced that he will retire at the end of next year after nearly three decades with the supplier.
Current IGT vice-president and corporate controller David Morgan will take on Rishton’s roles on 1 January 2024, with Rishton supporting the transition for Morgan until he retires at the end of 2024.
Rishton originally joined IGT in July 1995 as a cost accounting supervisor. He then went on to have a number of roles across his nearly 30-year stint, and he took his current role as chief accounting officer in May 2010.
Some of Rishton’s notable achievements during his long tenure included the delisting of the GTECH organisation from the Borsa Italian Stock Exchange and relisting it to the New York Stock Exchange as IGT in 2015.
On the outgoing Rishton, Max Chiara, IGT CFO, commented: “On behalf of the leadership team at IGT, I congratulate Tim Rishton on an illustrious career. Tim’s leadership, strategic vision, industry knowledge, discipline and integrity will have a lasting influence on our organisation.”
“Tim has been instrumental in helping drive some of the most significant milestones in the evolution of IGT and its legacy companies.”
Rishton’s replacement, Morgan, joined IGT in 2017 as senior director before being made a senior VP in March 2020.
Chiara added: “Throughout his tenure at IGT, David Morgan has displayed a dedication to process improvement along with strong knowledge and expertise in technical accounting.
“He is a tremendous professional who will have a positive impact on our accounting and tax group and our broader organisation as a member of the leadership team.”
