Ainsworth Game Technology appoints Ryan Comstock as CEO
On May 10, Ainsworth Game Technology named Ryan Comstock as permanent chief executive officer (CEO) after he had stepped into the role on an interim basis in October 2025, following ex-CEO Harald Neumann’s resignation.
Former CEO Neumann had resigned after he failed to obtain a license approval from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, and since then, Comstock acted as CEO while the company was looking for a permanent replacement. Before his final appointment as CEO, Comstock had been the chief operating officer (COO) of Ainsworth since 2018, and had first joined the company back in 2012.
Ainsworth shared in a statement:
“The board considered that Mr Comstock has the necessary attributes and experience gained across all operational areas of the company to undertake the role of CEO. His extensive knowledge across all operational areas of the company, together with initiatives undertaken by him, were considered in determining his appointment.”
Additionally, the appointment comes as Comstock was able to get the necessary gaming regulatory license approval.
Comstock is set to receive $625,000 as a base salary, as well as additional short and long-term incentives, which include $400,000 cash-settled performance rights, with the contract having no fixed term.
