Take Advantage of the Biggest Financial Event in London. This year we have expanded to new verticals in Online Trading, Fintech, Digital Assets, Blockchain, and Payments.
Smiths last day at the company will be on 28 November, the same day McGinnis will take over the CFO and Executive Director role.
Smith has been a part of Playtech for the past seven years and nine months. He joined the London-headquartered company in March 2015. He was a lawyer by training and previously worked for Temenos, Deutsche Bank, ABN AMRO Bank, Ashurst, and the Financial Services Authority (now FCA).
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Andy for the contribution he has made to Playtech over the past seven years, and in particular since taking over as CFO in 2017,” said Playtechs Chairman, Brian Mattingley.
“Andy has played a crucial role at the Company, helping to steer the business through the pandemic, including delivering a record half-year performance in H1 2022 and leading the recent successful refinancing of Playtech's external debt in light of the upcoming bond maturity.”
Indeed, the company's revenue climbed by 73 percent to €792.3 million in the first six months of 2022, whereas the debt refinancing is expected to save €20 million annually.
According to his Linkedin profile, McGinnis joined Playtech in June 2017 and was the Deputy CFO for the last two months. He initially joined the company as the Head of Strategic Analysis and was later promoted to the Director of Investor Relations and Strategic Analysis.
He also worked at Temenos previously for more than six years. In his two-decade-long career, McGinnis held roles at Stifel Nicolaus, BofA Merrill Lynch, UBS Securities, and Deloitte & Touche.
“I am delighted that Chris will be joining the Board as CFO,” Mattingley added. “In addition to his deep knowledge of Playtech and the sector, he brings a strong set of financial and strategic skills that will be invaluable as the Company looks to deliver further growth.”

In the current political climate, understanding the policy differences between the main candidates has become increasingly important. As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, the intense rivalry between Trump and Harris not only influences voters' decisions but also determines the future direction of the nation at a crucial time. With voting imminent, voters face two distinctly different governance philosophies and policy directions that impact not only U.S. domestic and foreign policy but also profoundly affect the global investment landscape.
As the 2024 U.S. presidential race approaches, investors worldwide are closely watching potential outcomes and their implications for global markets. While a 269-269 Electoral College tie between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains unlikely, its occurrence would set the stage for an unprecedented period of political uncertainty, triggering a contingent election decided by Congress. Such uncertainty would ripple across forex, stock, and oil markets, where stability and predictability are prized. Here’s a look at how a tie could affect these key financial sectors.
