Austrian gaming supply and operations giant Novomatic AG announced that it has named industry veteran John Morris as vice president of global product management. Morris reports directly to Thomas Graf, Novomatic’s chief technology officer.
“John Morris will be responsible for the strategic product alignment and further development of international product management,” said Graf. “This decision is not just for staffing: John Morris is a very clear signal to the international markets that we will be even more active in the future.”
Within the industry, Morris is considered a “primary rock,” the company said. During the last three decades, he has held leading positions in product management at IGT, most recently as product marketing manager for Asia. “With his decades of global experience, his legendary commitment, as well as his extensive industry network, Morris will promote our worldwide activities in a leading position,” noted Graf.
“Novomatic is one of the major players on the market, with a huge potential for development at international level,” said Morris. “I am proud to be part of this company and to work closely with Thomas Graf. I have always experienced Novomatic as one of the most dynamic companies in the industry. I am therefore even more delighted to take part in the international business development of Novomatic. The company already has the most important components for this, being technically advanced, with innovative products, popular games and a globally appreciated product service.”
