Michael Marchetti has joined the board of directors at casino equipment and game technology provider Light & Wonder Inc. Previously Marchetti was a director of SciPlay Corporation, whose remaining public shares were acquired by Light & Wonder in October 2022.
Light & Wonder Chief Executive Officer Jamie Odell said Marchetti had “a wealth of mobile gaming experience and a strong financial background,” which would help the company “continue to maximize value” for shareholders.
Marchetti added, “Light & Wonder is operating from a position of strength, and I look forward to applying my experience and passion for the business.”
Marchetti has held leadership positions in financial institutions and gaming companies including Merrill Lynch, Electronic Arts and Buffalo Studios. Currently he serves as chief financial officer at the educational digital technology provider Age of Learning Inc.
In December, Light & Wonder named Oliver Chow as chief financial officer, a position he had held as interim since August.
