ARISTOCRAT TECHNOLOGIES AUSTRALIA PTY LTD March 2004 - December 2011

General Manager, Product Development and Delivery July 2008 – December 2011

Aristocrat, an ASX100 company (peak market capitalisation A$8.0 billion), is a global provider of gaming solutions, licensed by over 200 regulators and with products and services available in more than 90 countries. In 2011, employing 2,000 staff globally, recorded revenues were A$704.3, with operating profit of A$113.7 million. The Company was also one of Australia’s largest investors in Research and Development (approximately A$100m annually).

Responsibilities

During a period of instability and change of the executive leadership group, I was appointed to take over responsibility for all global product development programs (games software and platform software) including managing compliance of product development with global gaming regulators.

Audit reports had highlighted poor planning, poor reporting, lack of stakeholder engagement and agreement, and failure to deliver on time or to quality. Late delivery of new game software to market and compliance issues had been increasing due to breakdown in processes and uncoordinated product development activities across multiple development streams. This was impacting commercial commitments and ultimately sales revenues.
