In a 5-0 vote Monday, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission named Todd Grossman — currently serving as the commission’s general counsel — to the role of interim executive director.
He will assume the job at the close of business on Friday, July 14, when the current executive director, Karen Wells, steps down after three years on the job.
Grossman and Dr. Alex Lightbaum, the director of racing and chief veterinarian for the MGC, were both passed along to the commission after a screening committee recommended the two candidates for the position. They were both interviewed by the full commission Monday morning, and, after a short deliberation, the vote came in for Grossman.
