The Game Play Network (GPN), a Los Angeles-based igaming developer, has today announced a number of additions to its leadership team as the company continue to expand.
GPN hopes this new leadership team will help grow the organization's market share and accelerate the company’s footprint across the country and beyond the 22 states it currently operates in.
The four additions to its leadership team are Aaron Fischer, CFO and chief strategy officer; Sam Kiki, chief commercial officer; Bryan Lindsey, SVP of gaming operations; and Tod Lower, chief operating officer.
"We're committed to investing in great talent to continue our long history of pioneering the igaming marketplace," said David Marshall, co-founder, and CEO of Game Play Network. "The additional expertise Aaron, Sam, Bryan, and Tod add to our team is second to none. Bryan has a long history of building and running entertainment and gambling venues. And the reunion of the Aaron and Sam duo, who together took MGM Resorts to the leading edge of digital wagering with BetMGM, will undoubtedly be a rocket booster to the company."
Aaron Fischer, CFO, will be responsible for the company’s corporate strategy, business development, investor relations and capital market strategies. He joins Game Play Network after serving as CSO for MGM Resorts International.
"I am excited to join a leading innovator in the gaming industry," shared Aaron Fischer. "We are accelerating the strategic execution and implementation of our igaming B2B business model, which expands the TAM and profitability for our strategic partners, while building substantial enterprise value for GPN stakeholders."
Sam Kiki, CCO, will be tasked with driving the B2B growth of the company and further commercializing its platform. In his new role, Kiki will oversee all B2B partnerships with online gaming companies, game developers, technology providers and social game companies. He currently sits on the board of SuperDraft, Inc., Caesars Entertainments' daily fantasy platform. Previously, he was the head of strategy at Caesars Entertainment.
As senior vice president of gaming operations Bryan Lindsey will leverage his experience to lead GPN’s expansion into retail deployments nationwide.
Finally, Tod Lower will be responsible for the providers’ day-to-day business operations, such as supporting strategic initiatives and accelerating revenue growth and profitability. Lower has previously served as vice president at Bank of America and COO of GC Aesthetics.
Based in Los Angeles, GPN allows real money wagers on live horse racing while also developing casino-style games. The company hopes to operate in up to 40 states soon.
