Comprised of seasoned business leaders, Cryptologic's Board of Directors provides sound corporate governance. With integrity and insight, the Board executes its duties in line with its mandate to represent the best interests of shareholders.
With only one executive director, Cryptologic's Board is strongly independent. Outside directors meet separately from Cryptologic's management and between regular director meetings to foster independent discussion of issues. Our directors are elected by shareholders annually and hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
