A lucky break turned into a great career move for Todd McTavish, senior vice president, general counsel and chief compliance officer of Multimedia Games Inc. The Austin-based public company designs, manufactures and distributes gaming technology, such as slot machines, to Native American and commercial casino markets. McTavish said he got the job as the company’s top lawyer by “being in the right place at the right time. It was total luck.”

The right place was the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, an annual gaming conference, in the fall of 2012, where he met Pat Ramsey, the CEO of Multimedia. At that time, McTavish was general counsel for Video Gaming Technologies Inc., a privately held company in Franklin, Tenn. Ramsey and McTavish had both been collegiate athletes.
