Both executives will report to Konami Gaming’s vice president of North American sales, Ross O’Hanley.

Scott Richards has been appointed senior director of system sales. He will be responsible for: business development; account retention and acquisition; and sales targets for the firm’s Synkros casino management system.

Other promoted executives included: Jeff George, senior director of software engineering; Lori Olk, senior director of regulatory compliance; Eddie Sepich, senior director of embedded and interface systems; Norio Tone, senior director of hardware platform product; and Steve Walther, senior director of product management.
