Barry Cottle was named president and CEO of Scientific Games on June 1, 2018, replacing Kevin Sheehan. Cottle joined Scientific Games in 2015 to lead the strategy and growth plans of the company’s interactive group. During his time in that division, Scientific Games acquired NYX Gaming and its sports betting platform, setting the company up for the legalization that occurred last year. The acquisition of Don Best Sports late last year completed the company’s sports betting strategy. Cottle spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at the ICE trade show in London in February.
