The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) announced in a Thursday press release that its board had elected a new slate of officials serving the body. The new officers will start their terms on February 1, 2023.

Mr Parente succeeds David Lucchese – executive vice president of sales, marketing and digital at gaming technology and content provider Everi Holdings Inc – as president of AGEM.

In addition to Mr Parente’s election for a two-year term, AGEM also elected a number of new officers for one-year terms.

They included as vice presidents: Mr Lucchese; Elaine Hodgson, president and chief executive of Incredible Technologies Inc, a developer of digital entertainment products for the amusement and casino gaming market; Luke Orchard, senior vice president and chief compliance and risk management officer at gaming supplier International Game Technology Plc (IGT); and Tom O’Brien, president for Americas and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) at slot supplier Aristocrat Gaming.

Also endorsed for a one-year term were: as AGEM secretary, Thomas Jingoli, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Konami Gaming Inc; and, as AGEM treasurer, Ryan Comstock, COO of slot manufacturer Ainsworth Game Technology Ltd.

AGEM is a non-profit international trade association representing manufacturers and suppliers of products and services for the gaming industry.
