Brian Hadfield – New CEO at CryptoLogic

CryptoLogic Limited announced today Brian Hadfield will be taking over as President and CEO of the successful online gaming software company. He will be replacing Javaid Aziz, who is retiring after guiding the company to continued success through turbulent post-UIGEA times.

Brian Hadfield joined CryptoLogic as a director last year, after having previously managed Unisys Limited's operations in the UK, Middle East, India and Africa.

He has big shoes to fill, with Aziz retiring after leading CryptoLogic to record profitability in 2007, including four consecutive quarters of sequential growth in a year which saw many online gaming companies struggle.

CryptoLogic Chairman, Bob Strikeman:
"Brian Hadfield brings CryptoLogic important skills at an exciting time in our growth, and he is perfectly suited to build on the strategy set by Javaid Aziz. Brian knows CryptoLogic, he knows how to grow a global business, and he knows how to motivate and lead a team. His experience will ensure we continue to develop innovative new software, and innovative new commercial alliances around the world."

Javaid Aziz:
"In a dynamic business, it's never an easy time to make a personal decision, but I do so with great satisfaction about CryptoLogic's accomplishments, and great confidence in its future. CryptoLogic has achieved renewed stability and profitability in the past year, and the company is set for continued global growth in the years to come."

Brian Hadfield:
"It's a privilege for me to lead CryptoLogic's exceptional team of people on three continents. CryptoLogic has the right people, products and partnerships. And with a foundation of financial strength, CryptoLogic also has the right strategy for global growth. Together, we can take this thriving business to a new level of success."

Hadfield will present CryptoLogic's 2007 fiscal report in mid-March and the company believe expected Q4 earnings and sales "will be achieved or exceeded". Shares in CryptoLogic (LSE: CRP) closed last night at 899.5p.
