At its 2025 annual meeting last week, AGEM elected a new board of directors including a new chair, Ryan Comstock (pictured), who is chief operating officer at Ainsworth Game Technology.
Outgoing chair Robert “Bob” Parente, executive vice president and chief business development officer for Light & Wonder, completes a two-year term but will remain on the board as treasurer for a one-year term.
Thomas Jingoli, executive vice president and COO at Konami Gaming, was appointed secretary. Five members were appointed director, those being: Elaine Hodgson, president and CEO at Incredible Technologies; Luke Orchard, SVP, chief compliance and risk management officer at IGT; David Lucchese, executive vice president of sales, marketing and digital at Everi; Lauralyn Sandoval, VP of new markets at Aristocrat Gaming; and Randy Gilbert, CFO and COO at TableTrac.
In addition, the AGEM board of directors also approved the creation of new positions for a forthcoming AGEM Europe Committee designee and an ex-officio/non-voting representative from Global Gaming Women, both of which will be slated in the months ahead. These efforts aim to further expand the perspectives and voices within AGEM from the global gaming supplier community.
