Probability appoints non-exec chairman

Mobile gambling firm Probability has appointed Mike Shinya as Non-Executive Chairman following the retirement from the board of Graham Parr (see previous InfoPowa report).   The appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s upcoming AGM.

Shinya’s career in the technology sector spans three decades and prior experience includes the positions of chief executive officer at Sherwood International and software company IBS Group, prior to which he was chief operating officer at Micro Focus International.

He is currently chairman of Seal Software Group, and has within the past five years, been a director of Lombard Risk Management and a Partner of Grosvenor Park Films LLP.

Charles Cohen, chief executive officer of Probability, said:

“Mike brings immense experience to Probability in terms of fast changing technology and in growing small companies into substantial enterprises. He joins us as we are gaining further momentum in the UK and are poised for further international expansion in Italy and more widely in Europe following our recent acquisition of Playyoo.”
