In a shake-up of Scientific Games’ innovation and digital leadership, Matt Lynch has joined the company as president of digital while Steve Beason steps into the role of chief innovation officer.
Lynch brings more than 20 years of digital leadership to the company’s leadership team having filled roles at Amazon, Samsung, Symantec and Firework. In his early career, Lynch spent eight years at Amazon scaling several product categories into $1bn+ businesses.
Beason’s career spans four decades in the lottery and gaming industry introducing technology innovations across retail and digital channels. In his new role, he will expand the digital platform innovations he has spearheaded across the company’s full suite of products.
“Thanks to the amazing work of our existing teams, our digital business is expanding rapidly with active ilottery launches around the world,” said Scientific Games CEO Pat McHugh.
“The addition of an executive with Matt’s credentials continues Scientific Games’ investment in scaling our business to meet our growth plans and innovation roadmaps. Steve’s focus on technical innovation will continue to advance our industry-leading platforms to meet lotteries’ evolving needs into the future.”
