“He has a thorough understanding of the complexity of international operations in a service-based business and broad knowledge of corporate structure, compliance and strategy. Guided by Nick's financial expertise, we look forward to the next chapter of sound financial management of our global business."
McHugh went on to add that the company “would continue its relentless focus on innovating games, products and services while setting the global lottery industry's gold standard for achieving and sustaining business growth to maximize profitability and cash flow for Scientific Games' customers and shareholders.”
