Australia’s Aristocrat Leisure Ltd. has named Matt Wilson, former senior vice president of sales and marketing, to the position of senior vice president of global gaming operations.
Wilson takes over responsibility for Aristocrat’s global recurring revenue strategy for Class III markets, replacing former executive Dallas Orchard, who left the company earlier this year.
“Matt’s proven leadership and insight have been instrumental in driving Aristocrat’s recent momentum in the North American market,” said Aristocrat Chief Commercial Officer Maureen Sweeny. “His experience in the sales and marketing functions across the company’s major Class III markets in Australia and New Zealand, Asia Pacific and North America have given him a deep understanding of our global growth opportunities. This experience uniquely qualifies Matt to spearhead our efforts as we look to build sustainable business models across the globe, in alignment with our global Class III strategy.”
Wilson joined Aristocrat in 2004 and has held a number of key positions in a variety of markets. Between 2008 and 2012 he oversaw Aristocrat’s rapid expansion in the Asia Pacific region as the head of the sales team. In 2012 he was promoted to vice president of marketing for the Americas, and in August 2014, was promoted to senior VP of sales and marketing for North America.
This appointment is subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.
