Scientific Games has appointed Dan Flynn as its new chief executive. Flynn took up the role on 2 November, succeeding interim CEO Kevin Schneider, who had stepped in after Pat McHugh left the business in September following more than 20 years with the company.
Leadership background
Flynn joins from CDK Global, where he most recently served as chief transformation officer. His earlier career included roles at Caterpillar and Hertz. The appointment marks his first position in the gambling industry.
Focus on lottery technology
Flynn said his priorities would centre on the games, technology and services that help lottery customers meet their objectives and support funding for good causes. Lottery operators and technology partners will be watching for how his transformation and customer-delivery experience translates into product strategy, investment and execution.
