GSN CEO David Goldhill steps down after 10 years

GSN CEO David Goldhill is stepping down from his role after 10 years at the social casino games publisher and television network.

Goldhill joined the company, which has published titles such as Solitaire TriPeaks and GSN Grand Casino, in 2007.

He has previously held roles at investment firm Associated Partners and TV network Independent Network Television Holdings.

It is unclear why he is leaving he developer, or what he plans to do following his departure. A search for his replacement is already underway.

Proud and grateful

"After 10 years as CEO of GSN, I have informed our Board that I will be stepping down this year. I am working with our shareholders to identify new leadership for both our television and games businesses, and will be fully engaged in managing both businesses until new executives are in place," said Goldhill in a statement.

"I am very proud of all that has been accomplished in the past ten years, and believe as strongly as ever in our extraordinary opportunity for growth and innovation in both television and games.

"I thank our shareholders – SONY and AT&T – for their consistently strong support of both of our businesses. And I am especially grateful to all of my colleagues at GSN, whose dedication and talent have transformed this Company."

GSN Games most recently saw a round of layoffs that affected up to 20 of its staff. The redundancies came about as the studio restructured into five distinct divisions.
