Cath Burns is departing TCSJOHNHUXLEY after two and a half years as chief executive of the London-based table games equipment and technologies provider.
Ms Burns’ last day will be 21st November, according to a corporate announcement, which said Executive Chairman Tristan Sjöberg will assume her responsibilities. It was not mentioned if the company will look for a new CEO.
The highly regarded Ms Burns joined Huxley in March 2012 after six years as vice president-Asia-Pacific for Bally Technologies, where she was instrumental in helping the Las Vegas-based slot giant re-establish itself as a force in the region, leading its return to Australia and New Zealand after years without a presence in either country and directing its growth on the systems side, where it has become a leading player with installations in several of Macau’s largest casinos and in Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
“Under her leadership TCSJOHNHUXLEY has developed innovative products and services with committed product road maps, which protect our customers’ investment in us and in turn provide strategic growth for the future,” Mr Sjöberg said.
The company also announced the formation of a new Table Games Division headed by another Bally alumnus, Bobby Liscio, who will direct the unit as it sources, develops and expands Huxley’s portfolio of proprietary games, side bets and progressive and bonusing solutions. He also will work closely with the sales teams worldwide to assist with game implementation and installation and provide support and training to casino operators.
Mr Liscio brings 27 years of operations experience to the role and most recently served eight years as a member of Bally’s Professional Services division.
