FanDuel on Monday will announce that it is further building out its effort at tribal relations with the hire of former National Indian Gaming Commission chairman E. Sequoyah Simermeyer, the company exclusively shared with Sports Handle. The hire is FanDuel’s third of an executive with a background in tribal gaming in the last six months.
Simermeyer will be a vice president for strategic partnerships. He joins former San Manuel Band of Mission Indians COO Rikki Tanenbaum, who was hired in October as a senior vice president for strategic partnerships, and Frank Sizemore, former San Manuel vice president of operations, who was hired in January — also as a vice president for strategic partnerships.
