Scientific Games announced Tuesday that Chief Financial Officer Nick Negro will leave the company May 15 after three years of leading the company through three years of growth.
He will be replaced by Ray Anderson as interim Chief Financial Officer. The move was effective May 4 as the company begins the search for a permanent CFO.
Negro is departing for an opportunity in Chicago that allows him to be closer to family.
“Nick has been a strong member of our leadership team and an advocate for the potential of Scientific Games,” Scientific Games CEO Pat McHugh said in a statement. “During his time with the company, he significantly strengthened our financial and procurement organizations and helped position Scientific Games for continued growth. We thank Nick for his contributions and wish him all the best.”
Anderson is a seasoned finance leader and CPA with more than 30 years of global experience, including senior leadership roles at KPMG across the United States, Europe and Asia. Most recently he served as a Global Lead Partner, advising Fortune 500 companies on audit, capital markets and regulatory strategy, and working closely with boards and executive teams. Previously, he led KPMG’s Pacific Southwest audit practice for six years.
“Ray is a highly respected finance leader with extensive global experience advising large, complex organizations,” said McHugh. “We are confident in his ability to support the business and our finance organization during this transition.”
