Las Vegas-based slot supplier Konami Gaming announced three additions to its senior-level management staff, promoting Shanna Grimes to vice president of human resources, Gary Snobel to vice president of corporate planning and IT administration, and William Wadleigh to senior director for game development.

“These new appointments are a reflection of Konami’s strong momentum within the business and reliable long-term position in the gaming industry,” said Konami Gaming President and CEO Steve Sutherland. “Konami’s senior management is driven by a commitment to excellence, accountability and innovation—values which are shared by each of these key members of leadership.”

Grimes had headed the company’s human resources department for two years. Snobel had worked for the company for more than a decade, in global corporate planning. Wadleigh had contributed to strategic innovation of products.

In two other appointments announced in last week’s statement, Konami promoted Fernando Rivera to global field service senior director and David Schwartz to customer experience senior director.
