New Interim CEO
On July 20, 2023, the Board of Directors made the decision to terminate Mark Gustavson from his role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In his place, Matthew McGahan, Chairman of the Board of Directors, has been appointed as interim Chief Executive Officer.
McGahan brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role, having been an integral part of the Company’s turnaround to date. This appointment ensures the continuation of the management of the Company under a safe, talented, and skilled pair of hands.
New CFO
On July 14, 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Robert J. Stubblefield as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Stubblefield brings with him extensive financial expertise, having recently served as the chief financial officer of Demeta, Inc. and Regnum Corp. His successful tenure as a financial executive in various start-up, early-stage growth, and public companies speaks to his ability to drive the Company’s financial strategy and revenue initiatives.
“Mr. Stubblefield has been a key member of the consulting team that helped the Company regain regulatory compliance with Nasdaq. The Company was extremely fortunate to find someone with his background to step in and assume a leadership role over the last four months, during which he gained significant knowledge about the Company and its operations. His wealth of financial experience and leadership will be invaluable as we begin to execute our growth plans now with the support of our new investment partner, UCIL,” stated interim CEO, Matthew McGahan.
“I am eager to join the Lottery.com team at such an important time for the Company. I look forward to leveraging my years of experience to guide the Company in implementing sustainable financial processes and controls,” said Rob Stubblefield, Lottery.com’s new CFO. “I am grateful to be working alongside an energetic group of leaders to advance the Company’s strategic goals, rebuild our domestic and international revenue engines, and focus the Company’s efforts on delivering maximum shareholder value. It’s an exciting time to join this organization as we prepare to fully realize the revenue-generating power of our two primary assets: lottery.com and sports.com.”
Independent Non-Executive Directors
In line with its ongoing restructuring and commitment to improving compliance, corporate governance, disclosure, and reporting structures, as well as boosting its offerings to customers, Lottery.com announces two new independent non-executive directors to its Board.
Tamer Hassan, renowned actor, entrepreneur, and founder of The Tamer Hassan Academy of Acting, joins the Board as an independent non-executive director.
With an illustrious career in the film and television industry, Mr. Hassan’s entrepreneurial skills have also led him to success in entertainment, sports, leisure, and hospitality ventures. He has a passion for supporting emerging talent in both the UK and Cyprus and has a strong track record in business ventures across various industries.
Mr. Hassan shared his thoughts on the new role, saying,
“My journey as an actor and entrepreneur, working successfully over many years with some of the biggest household entertainment brands, has given me unique insights into industry, and I look forward to contributing my expertise to the growth and success of Lottery.com.”
The second new non-executive addition to the Board is Paul Jordan, a commercial motorsport specialist with extensive international experience in sponsorship, acquisitions, and communication. With an impressive career spanning over four decades, Mr. Jordan has held senior positions with top Formula One teams and renowned motorsport brands. His ability to foster positive relationships with governing bodies, promoters, and government officials has earned him respect and admiration from peers and former colleagues.
“We are delighted to welcome both Paul and Tamer to our Board. Their vast experience and achievements in the sports and entertainment industries will undoubtedly be an asset to our strategic decision-making process,” commented Chairman Matthew McGahan.
These Board changes come as part of Lottery.com’s dedication to maintaining a strong leadership team and ensuring the Company’s continued growth and success in the global gaming market.
