El nuevo empleado se incorpora desde un puesto similar en PrizePicks.
John Pauley ha anunciado a través de una publicación en LinkedIn que ha asumido el cargo de vicepresidente de Asuntos Gubernamentales y Alianzas en el operador diario de deportes de fantasía (DFS) Underdog Fantasy.

Pauley se une a Underdog tras su paso por PrizePicks, también operador del DFS, donde fue vicepresidente de Asuntos Gubernamentales durante aproximadamente un año y seis meses.

Destacando su experiencia reciente en la industria, antes de trabajar en PrizePicks, Pauley fue gerente de asuntos gubernamentales en Sportradar.

El último nombramiento de Underdog enfatizó que, al asumir este nuevo cargo, podrá seguir trabajando con la Coalition for Fantasy Sports, que está compuesta por miembros de compañías del DFS que trabajan para apoyar a la industria y fomentar las mejores prácticas.

Pauley dijo en su publicación: "La marca Underdog se ha convertido en sinónimo de deportes de fantasía modernos y de la nueva generación de fanáticos. Por eso me hace muchísima ilusión compartir que mi próximo capítulo profesional será con la comunidad de Underdog Fantasy como vicepresidente de Asuntos Gubernamentales y Alianzas.

"Estoy eternamente agradecido por la oportunidad que tuve de trabajar con el equipo de PrizePicks, incluidos los visionarios detrás de sus productos, Jay Deuskar y Dylan Cooper. Y no me cabe duda de que PrizePicks está en buenas manos gracias a sus líderes en asuntos gubernamentales, Shane R. Saum, Ron Heart y Stuart Wilkinson. Mantengan el pie en el acelerador, amigos.

"Finalmente, unirme a Underdog me permite seguir trabajando con la Coalition for Fantasy Sports. La industria del juego estadounidense está evolucionando rápidamente y tiene una larga lista de iniciativas políticas que deben abordarse. Preparar el camino para aumentar la competencia, el crecimiento y el juego responsable en el sector de los DFS es más importante que nunca. ¡Pongámonos a trabajar! "

En noticias relacionadas, PrizePicks ha conseguido una asociación de marketing con State Farm Arena para "ampliar la presencia del compromiso de PrizePick con su ciudad natal". "

A principios de este mes, Underdog llegó a un acuerdo con la United Football League (UFL) para representar a la liga como su socio de deportes de fantasía a partir del Campeonato de la UFL el 16 de junio.
