Former Amazon sports executive Marie Donoghue is joining gambling operator DraftKings as chief business and growth operator.
Donoghue, who was one of the highest-ranking female executives in sports media, stepped down from Amazon earlier this month. In the new role, she will be tasked with uncovering new growth opportunities, likely in media and beyond.
“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,” DraftKings CEO Jason Robins said in a statement. “Marie’s exceptional track record speaks for itself, and she is poised to be a transformative force in our company’s future success.”
