Affinity Interactive (AI) has selected Andrei Scrivens, their present Chief Financial Officer, to assume the position of Chief Executive Officer. This shift will formally commence on January 1st, 2023. Scrivens will be taking on the responsibilities previously managed by Mary Beth Higgins, who is entering retirement but will remain accessible in a consulting role until June 2023 to guarantee a smooth transition.
James J. Zenni, Jr., Chairman of the Board at Affinity Interactive, conveyed complete faith in Scrivens, saying, “Andrei has been essential in developing Affinity Interactive into the industry-leading organization it is today. He possesses the foresight and direction to guide AI to even greater achievements.” Zenni further stressed the company’s preparedness to leverage the escalating demand for both land-based and digital gaming, highlighting Scrivens’ vast background in gaming ventures and operations as a valuable strength.
Scrivens played a critical part in the 2021 unification of Affinity Gaming and Sports Information Group, which led to the establishment of AI. His professional path boasts a seven-year period as Managing Director at Z Capital Partners (ZCG), where he concentrated on gaming and hospitality investments. Before ZCG, he refined his abilities as a Principal at Chilmark Partners.
Conveying his eagerness for the new position, Scrivens commented, “I am delighted to head the company during this promising period in AI’s evolution.”
My journey with this organization began in 2014, and the skill and commitment of each individual never ceases to impress me. Mary Beth’s guidance in recent years has filled me with profound appreciation, and I eagerly anticipate expanding upon the solid groundwork we have collectively established.”
