Microgaming has tabbed Dominic Harrison as the new leader of their Network Management Board. Harrison will take control of the group which, just this past October, was established in order to monitor the operation and development of the company’s poker network, according to iGaming Business.

“When I was first approached by Microgaming about being the independent Non-Executive Chairman for its Network Management Board, I knew it was a project that I had to be involved in,” said Harrison in a recent press release. “I strongly believe that the Network Management Board is exactly what this industry needs and I am very much looking forward to being an integral part of its success.”

Now in office, the new chairman will oversee a board made up of representatives from each of the main sites running on the Microgaming Poker Network. Foremost among these is Ladbrokes, one of the biggest names on the European gaming scene. A few of the other skins running on the network include PurpleLounge, MMPoker, PokerTime, and Gnuf. Each of these run on the same basic software, as their similar table appearances will attest. However, each site does a decent job of maintaining some degree of individuality. With Harrison at the helm, the board will continue to move toward establishing unique identities for each of its brands.

“The Network Management Board is the first of its kind in the industry,” said Microgaming CEO Roger Raatgever, “and we believe that with Dominic at the helm it will remain market-leading far into the future… We have a tremendous amount of respect for Dominic and we were naturally delighted when he agreed to take the position.”

Prior to his assuming his new post, Harrison spent over half a decade as an accountant for the Gala Coral Group. While there, he split his time between several gaming positions during that stretch, including a rise to Chief Operating Officer. He has close ties with Ladbrokes, as well, where he served as the site’s Commercial Director.
