Zynga Hires a New Executive to Lead Online Gambling

Zynga CEO Mark Pincus has said that the company will begin real-money gaming in international markets during the first half of 2013. To facilitate the foray into online gambling, Zynga has hired former Senior Vice President of 888 Holdings, Maytal Ginzburg, to oversee the social gaming service’s new business endeavor.

The hire is important for the Facebook games maker because it shows that while a number of executives have decided to leave, it can still recruit talent at a very high level.
