Aristocrat looks for new CFO as Toni Korsanos leaves Aussie firm

Australia-based slot machine maker Aristocrat Leisure is on the hunt for a new financial chief financial officer after its current executive, Toni Korsanos, decided not to relocate to Las Vegas.

In a filing to the Australian Securities Exchange, the company said Korsanos will the CFO role will be moving from Sydney to Aristocrat’s Las Vegas operations starting March 2018.

“This move is occurring in the context of the relocation of Chief Executive Officer Trevor Croker to North America later this calendar year,” Aristocrat said, noting that relocating the CFO role “will help ensure continuation” of the partnership between the two executive positions “consistent with the interests of the business.”

Korsanos, however, opted out of the relocation plans, citing “family reasons at this time,” the company stated. This, in turn, prompted Aristocrat to start “a comprehensive global search” for Korsanos’ successor.
