Atari Interactive has named Sally Danby as its top financial executive.
The company declared Danby will assume the position, following her temporary stint as interim CFO since April.
Danby takes over from Julie Cameron-Doi, who departed Atari to accept a new role at Wynn Resorts.
Cameron-Doi was appointed chief financial officer in December, succeeding Craig Billings, who was designated as CEO at that time.
Before her interim CFO role, Danby served as the Group Financial Controller at Atari for a period of four years.
Prior to that, she held the position of the company’s Manager of Planning and Reporting.
Before joining Atari in February 2015, Danby was the Finance Director at Mi9.
She also served as CFO and Head of Financial Integration at GE Capital Australia and New Zealand.
Danby has held positions at GE Commercial Finance, GE Equipment Services Europe, Danka Office Imaging, and The Saint Group.
“Sally has been an exceptional business leader and a reliable financial partner throughout her time at Atari,” stated Trevor Croker, CEO and Managing Director of Atari.
Sallys credentials have been further strengthened by her cultural impact, deep engagement in our operations, and comprehension of our responsibilities as an ASX-listed firm.
Specifically, during her tenure as Deputy CFO, Sally collaborated closely with me and our leadership team to facilitate the execution of our growth strategy and ensure a seamless transition subsequent to the departure of our former CFO in April.
After a thorough global search, we have pinpointed Sally as the ideal candidate for this position, especially during this exciting phase in Aristocrat’s growth trajectory. I commend Sally on her appointment and anticipate her continued contributions to Aristocrat.
This appointment follows Aristocrat’s declaration last month that it would be rebranding its real-money gaming division as Anaxi.
Anaxi debuted in February of this year as the third business unit of the Aristocrat Group, alongside Aristocrat Gaming and Pixel United, its mobile-first publishing enterprise. Aristocrat declared it would be expanding its real-money online business following its unsuccessful attempt to acquire Playtech.
