FanDuel recruits two senior policy executives

Christian Genetski, President at FanDuel, has today welcomed both Shailagh Murray and Jonathan Nabavi into their new roles as SVP of Public Affairs and Vice President of Federal Affairs respectively.  

Genetski said: “As we look to the future, we understand the important role FanDuel must play in policy discussions that will address how we build and shape the online gaming industry over the long term.” 

Both of the new faces at FanDuel have extensive experience setting the tone on policy and will take up executive roles. 

Murray has served inside the White House during the Obama administration, when she was a Senior Advisor to the President. 

Nabavi comes straight from a position within the NFL where he was heavily involved in public policy and the legislative agenda. 

Good to know: FanDuel’s sports betting gross gaming revenue market share was 43% when Q1 results were released in May 

The two fresh hires boast impressive CVs and Nabavi, in fact, has already been directly involved in the industry, advising the NFL on sports betting in his time there.  

FanDuel has been leading the charge in the US and as such are well positioned to set the agenda in discussions around the continued regulation of the American market from industry side. 

In its announcement, FanDuel have reiterated its desire to: “Lead the development of a regulated gaming industry that protects customers and delivers meaningful tax revenue to states.”
