IGT stock reports two senior leadership changes in September 2026 as the gaming technology company prepares for its next operating phase. Adam Chibib is scheduled to become chief financial officer on November 1, while Jamie Knight is set to become chief studios officer on January 1, 2027.
Finance leadership changes November 1
According to StockTitan, IGT appointed Adam Chibib as CFO effective November 1, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
Fabio Celadon remains CFO through October 31, 2026, and is scheduled to serve as an advisor through December 31. The transition therefore includes two handover stages within 61 days, from the current CFO date to the incoming studios leadership date.
Studios leadership follows January 1
Yogonet reported on September 22, 2026, that Jamie Knight will lead IGT's combined studio organization from January 1, 2027. Her responsibilities include game design, content development and studio operations.
The appointment follows Jean Venneman's planned retirement after more than 30 years in gaming, placing content development and studio operations under a new leader at the start of 2027.
G2E adds a near term checkpoint
IGT and Everi plan to present their combined gaming, systems and financial technology portfolio at the 2026 Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas from September 28 through October 1, according to PR Newswire. The event brings the leadership timetable and product portfolio presentation into the same four month period.
For investors tracking the IGT business, the sequence matters because the CFO transition addresses financial oversight first, while the studios appointment follows with responsibility for products and content.
Leadership calendar sets the sequence
IGT's disclosed timetable places the CFO appointment on November 1, 2026, and the chief studios appointment on January 1, 2027. Those dates create a clear two step transition into the company's 2027 operating calendar.
