His appointment advances the company’s industry-leading use of data and AI to help guide development of lottery games and technologies, enhance player experiences and deliver measurable, ROI-driven value for lottery customers, helping optimize performance in support of their beneficiary missions—across retail and digital channels.
Scientific Games has named former InBev, Walmart and Jet.com data science leader Ovie Doro as Senior VP of Data, Analytics and AI.
