Michael McMain Named New CEO for RealTime Gaming
Atlanta, GA – RealTime Gaming has announced a change in its upper management structure, promoting CTO / COO , Michael McMain to the position of CEO. Co-founder Michael Staw , who previously filled the CEO position, will stay on as Chairman.
“We are accelerating, and there is no one in the industry more qualified to lead our company forward in the years ahead,” said Staw. “It's a small change that should do big things to spur our continued growth and leadership in the industry.”
RealTime Gaming officials cited McMain's software company management experience, leadership, and hands-on industry knowledge as critical assets the company will need to rely on for the second half of 2005 and beyond.
Prior to his tenure at RealTime Gaming, McMain worked for several leading technology companies, first as a development manager with Automatic Data Processing then with Peachtree Software as the manager of their Internet Technologies Group. McMain later joined Vision Systems, leading an effort to develop consumer hand-held devices using GPS navigation technologies.
RealTime officials are not expecting any lag in development progress with the change in management; in fact, the company has a number of initiatives scheduled for McMain's first year as CEO. Plans for software development over in the next twelve months include non-English language platforms, more Real-Series Video Slots, and continued development of “no-download” Flash games. Additionally, McMain is committed to enhancing the overall player experience across the board.
“Ultimately, it's all about the players – we make games that players love to play, and operators are excited to offer,” says McMain. “Our player-first focus is something that will never change.”
