Jamul Casino Tuesday introduced Ram Patrachari as its new chief information officer. Patrachari will be charged with building new technology systems for the casino near San Diego that offer secure and seamless experiences for casino guests.
“Ram’s experience and expertise will be absolutely invaluable as we continue to develop our property and grow our casino services,” said Jamul Casino General Manager Mary Cheeks in a statement. “As we’re planning for the next 5-10 years, it became clear that Ram was the perfect fit. We’re delighted to welcome him to the team.”
Patrachari has more than 25 years of IT experience. He previously worked for Bell Labs, Compaq, Exodus Communications, and AT&T Wireless and has worked in the casino industry for 15 years. Patrachari has served on the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council, as an advisory board director for Tribalnet, and as advisory board director for Gaming & Leisure.
In 2015, his IT team won the Tribalnet Game Changers Technology award. Patrachari has received San Diego Magazine’s Top Tech Exec and the Information Technology Executive of the Year award sponsored by the San Diego Business Journal.
“I joined the Jamul Casino team because of the culture that Mary Cheeks has built, how the team interacts with each other, and how they treat guests on the floor,” Patrachari said. “For me, it’s less about the technology and more about the people. I aim to cultivate an environment where team members feel free to share their ideas on how to make our workplace even better. This culture is completely aligned with my goals.”
