The decision comes during a point of transition for the tech company.

Global tech company Lottery.com has appointed two new members to its Board of Directors and has named Matthew McGahan as its new Chairman.

Barney Battles and Naila Chowdhury will fill the two vacant spots left on the company’s board during the group’s transitional period.

McGahan, Battles and Chowdhury each bring with them decades of industry experience in the fields of investment, accounting and global business partnerships respectively.

Company CEO Sohail Quraeshi took a moment to welcome the board’s new members and noted that each aims to make a significant contribution to the group.

Quraeshi, also newly appointed, said: “I would like to welcome all the new directors to the board and am delighted at Matthew’s appointment to Chairman. Each of them brings considerable and relevant experience, which will substantially enhance our senior leadership team, compliance, CSR and strategic capability.

“These appointments are a crucial next step as we complete the turnaround of the business and implement a strategy for future growth.”

McGahan commented about the timing of stepping into his new role and the importance of a company focus on continued growth.

He said: “My appointment as Chairman comes at an important inflection point for the company. We are now seeking to recapitalize and engage in a revitalized growth strategy in a changed business environment.

“Lottery.com has fine-tuned its management team, who work together with an outstanding, knowledgeable and self-driven staff dedicated to operations, technology, revenue generation and legal compliance.”

Both Chowdhury and Battles expressed their excitement and willingness to join the board at such a pivotal time for the group.

Chowdhury commented: “I am extremely pleased to be working with a tech company that promises to deliver highly responsible and trusted services to its customers. I look forward to driving the company’s transformation into an ethical and secure workplace and working with the team who has a vision to fulfill it.” 

Battles added: “I am committed to building and improving our services and enhancing our policies and procedures and financial discipline. I am delighted to join the Board of a forward-thinking, proactive company committed to growth.”
