DraftKings has appointed Marie Donoghue as its new chief business and growth officer.

Donoghue last served as Amazon’s vice president of global sports video. It was confirmed she was leaving the company earlier this month.

In her new role, Donoghue will play a key role in driving further growth for DraftKings as it explores new business opportunities. She will also be charged with spearheading various internal processes.

The decision to bring in Donoghue comes after DraftKings launched its 24/7 streaming network, DraftKings Network, on Samsung TV Plus last year as the company looks to branch out and expand its offering to customers. DraftKings now bills itself as a digital sports entertainment, gaming, and technology company.

Donoghue, who is one of the most influential women in sports media, brings considerable broadcast pedigree. During her stint at Amazon, Prime Video landed various high-profile sports broadcast rights, including the National Football League’s (NFL) Thursday Night Football in an 11-year, $1 billion-a-season deal.

Prior to Amazon, Donoghue spent more than 18 years at ESPN, becoming executive vice president of global business and content strategy.

“I am thrilled to be joining DraftKings during this exciting phase and have long admired the organisation’s steady rise as an industry innovator. This is a special opportunity to expand on its industry-leading position and propel the company to new heights,” said Donoghue.

“We are delighted to welcome Marie Donoghue to our executive team and the immense wealth of experience she brings as a highly-regarded leader and trailblazer within our industry. Marie’s exceptional track record speaks for itself, and she is poised to be a transformative force in our company’s future success,” Jason Robins, chief executive and co-founder of DraftKings, said.
