Brian Goodman to retire as CEO and leave the Board on 12 December
Chairman William Scott appointed interim CEO and will lead the CEO search
Transition follows a period of financial expansion, including Q3 revenue growth

Golden Matrix Group has confirmed the upcoming retirement of CEO Brian Goodman, who will step down from his role and the Board of Directors on 12 December unless an earlier date is agreed.

The company said the change is part of its next phase of strategic execution as it continues expanding its operations across regulated online gaming markets.

Chairman William Scott has been appointed interim CEO and will chair the committee responsible for selecting Goodman's successor. Scott said the company is entering a new chapter in its operational development.

Golden Matrix Interim CEO and Chairman, William Scott, said: "Brian laid the foundation. Our next chapter is about execution, scale and consistent performance."

Goodman's tenure included the company's transition from a micro-cap operator into a NASDAQ-listed gaming group with B2B and B2C operations across multiple international markets.

His leadership also coincided with the rollout of proprietary platforms designed to support recurring revenue and operational efficiency.

Scott previously served in senior leadership roles at Gtech and Lottomatica, where he contributed to the companies' wider expansion into global gaming markets.

Golden Matrix said his background in regulated jurisdictions was a factor in his appointment as interim CEO.

The announcement comes shortly after the release of the company's third-quarter 2025 results. Golden Matrix reported Q3 revenue of $47.3m, reflecting a 15% year-on-year increase. The company also returned to net profitability during the period.
