PointsBet on Friday said it has hired Mary-Beth Hosking MBT to be its new chief information officer.
Hosking will report to PointsBet’s president of product and technology, Manjit Singh.
Prior to joining the online gaming operator, Hosking held key executive positions at Specsavers and the Toll Group.
The company said in a statement she will oversee PointsBet’s overall IT strategy, aligning its resources with business goals to optimize its position in one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.
According to Hosking’s LinkedIn profile, she describes herself as a “pragmatic and seasoned IT leader” with 17-plus years’ experience working in “complex matrix environments leading multi-disciplinary teams.”
Hosking goes on to say she is “motivated by driving change and transformation” with people at the center.
“Clearly understanding the impact of poorly led change has been instrumental in my approach to successful delivery,” Hosking writes. “With a background combining technology, retail, transport, logistics, finances, and consulting and leading large technology programs and working with offshore presence, I bring diverse perspectives and a strong understanding of implementation that works.”
In a quote from Friday’s statement from PointsBet, Hosking said, “As an IT leader, motivated by innovation and building high performing teams, I am excited to be joining the team at PointsBet. Working with a global organization with an impressive growth strategy, leading edge technology and a team of outstanding IT professionals is a dream come true.”
Singh added: “I am delighted to welcome Mary-Beth to PointsBet as CIO. With her strong background in information systems and technologies, Mary-Beth will manage the global PointsBet infrastructure and lead a very talented team who follows industry best practices in operating our systems efficiently with high reliability and security.”
