Former International Game Technology executive Rich Schneider will join Aristocrat Technologies in July as its chief product officer.
Working out of the company American headquarters in Las Vegas, Schneider will oversee slot machine development for Australian-based Aristocrat. Schneider will report directly to Aristocrat CEO Jamie Odell.
Schneider served in various executive capacities with IGT, overseeing game design, gaming systems and developing server-based gaming products.
