BC Lottery Corp. Launches Search for President/CEO

The British Columbia Lottery Corp. (BCLC) has launched a search for a new president and CEO with the help of the executive-search firm Leaders International.

According to BCLC, the new leader “will be responsible to advance the organization’s focus on prioritizing the well-being of players—and society—while generating important revenue for the Province of B.C. to support investments in healthcare, education and community programs.”

Former President and CEO Jim Lightbody stepped down from the role in December 2021. Lynda Cavanaugh will continue as interim president and CEO until a permanent replacement is determined.

“We are excited to find our next president and CEO to build on BCLC’s successes to innovate our business in a way that serves the best interest of our players and communities,” said Greg Moore, BCLC board chairman. “Working collaboratively with BCLC’s board of directors and executive team, the successful candidate must be a values-driven leader who is passionate about social purpose and furthering an empowering, equitable and inclusive culture for our employees and industry.”

BCLC is a 2022 B.C. Top Employer, a title it has maintained for 16 consecutive years.
