Golden Matrix Group Inc. announced a planned leadership transition that aligns with the company's next phase of strategic execution and operational scale. Brian Goodman has agreed to step down as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors effective December 12, 2025. William Scott, Chairman of the Board and a globally recognized gaming executive, will take over as Interim Chief Executive Officer while also chairing the committee responsible for appointing the company's next permanent CEO.
During his tenure, Goodman guided Golden Matrix through a period of significant transformation, shifting from a micro-cap operator to a diversified, NASDAQ-listed international gaming group. Under his leadership, the company expanded into multiple regulated markets, built a portfolio of scalable B2B and B2C platforms, and established a business model built on recurring revenue and disciplined growth. This foundation sets the stage for the company's next chapter focused on execution and consistent performance.
"Golden Matrix is built on solid ground - diversified, profitable, and prepared to scale," said William Scott, Interim CEO and Chairman. "Brian laid the foundation. Our next chapter is about execution, scale and consistent performance. With strong fundamentals, global reach, and disciplined execution, we believe we are positioned to outperform the market and deliver exceptional long-term value for our shareholders."
Scott brings extensive experience in global gaming and regulated markets, having previously held senior executive roles at GTECH/Lottomatica where he played a leading role in that company's evolution from a lottery-focused business into a broader international gaming group. As interim CEO, while leading the permanent CEO search, he will prioritize performance, operational optimization and continued value creation for shareholders.
The leadership change comes as Golden Matrix operates in more than 25 markets worldwide across Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Australia, and Africa, serving both operators and consumers with scalable, compliant, and high-margin gaming solutions. The company's diversified portfolio includes casino, sportsbook, and competition products powered by its own technology and subsidiaries such as MeridianBet Group, Expanse Studios, GMAG, RKings, CFAC, and MexPlay.
This transition represents more than just a change in leadership—it signals a strategic pivot toward maximizing the company's global footprint and technological assets. With the foundation established during Goodman's tenure, the company now aims to leverage its position in regulated markets worldwide to drive consistent growth and shareholder value. The appointment of an experienced gaming industry veteran like Scott suggests a focus on operational excellence and market expansion during this critical phase of the company's development.
