With a goal to improve their business, Las Vegas-based company, IGT, made a decision to broaden its senior leadership team by assigning new roles to three members.
Who Are They?
Bob Vincent will become Chairperson of IGT Global Solutions Corporation, the major operating subsidiary for the U.S. lottery business, effective April 8, 2019.
He will serve as a senior consultant to IGT Chief Executive Officer, Marco Sala, and other members of IGT’s senior leadership team.
Furthermore, his career as a consultant for this company started almost thirty years ago and then six years later, he officially joined them.
Vincent had a couple of leadership roles, including his current role as Executive Vice President for Administrative Services and External Relations, which he will abandon as soon he takes over his new role.
He is also a member of different boards that are located in Rhode Island, as well as committees, including the Rhode Island Hospital Foundation, the University of Rhode Island Foundation and the University’s Harrington School of Communication and Media.
Wendy Montgomery will become part of their team as Senior Vice President of Global Brand, Marketing, and Communications. Sala is going to be her supervisor and her main duty will be to monitor the strategy for IGT’s global brand, trade shows and external communications, as well as community relations, responsible gaming and corporate social responsibility.
Before she started working for them, Wendy spent thirteen years at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation where she was in charge of marketing, operations, policy, sales, planning and the iGaming sector.
And Last But Not Least…
Scott Gunn is the last in line who will join this company as Senior Vice President of Corporate Public Affairs.
Just like his colleagues, he will also start immediately! Public affairs linked to government relations strategy will be in his focus and he will be responsible for directing and facilitating government relationships and public engagement in order to upgrade international business interests for the North American and International business units.
Moreover, he spent around twenty-four years in the company and was in charge of sales, business, operations, development and public affairs.
A Trio Of Professionals:
IGT Chief Executive Officer, Sala expressed his satisfaction concerning this team by saying:
“Bob, Wendy, and Scott are all seasoned industry professionals with specialized individual skills who bring great value to IGT. I look forward to Bob’s continued contribution as the new chairperson of our operating subsidiary, and I am pleased to have Wendy and Scott join our senior leadership team.
IGT is constantly evolving to maintain our position as the industry leader in gaming, and I am confident that these appointments will positively impact our business and serve us well in the coming years.”
