RTG head techie becomes CEO

Michael McMain, who formally headed software development for turnkey provider Realtime Gaming has been appointed CEO of the company with immediate effect. He replaces one of the co-founders of the group, Michael Staw who will take up the position of chairman.

McMain has extensive management experience and his leadership and industry knowledge make him the ideal choice for the position, says a company press release.

Staw said, "We are accelerating, and there is no-one in the industry more qualified to lead our company forward in the years ahead. It's a small change that should do big things to spur our continued growth and leadership in the industry."

McMain's promotion should ensure commercial continuity and the management change will have little or no impact on productivity. The company has not announced who McMain's successor as head of software development will be.
