Scientific Games appoints new digital chief as Matt Davey exits

US gambling technology provider Scientific Games Corporation (SGC) continues to shuffle its senior management, as SG Digital boss Matt Davey will leave the company at the end of the year.

On Monday, SGC announced a series of executive appointments, including promoting current Exec VP Lottery Jim Kennedy as its new Chairman, Lottery. Pat McHugh, currently SVP Global Lottery Systems, is now the Lottery division’s Executive Vice President and Group Chief Executive.

SGC also named Jordan Levin as its new Executive Vice President and Group Chief Executive, Digital. Levin (pictured), who currently serves as SVP for Corporate Development, will take over from current SG Digital boss Davey, who will leave the SGC fold at the end of 2018.

Davey, who was appointed SG Digital boss in February, joined SGC following the company’s acquisition of NYX Gaming and its valuable OpenBet sports betting platform. SGC said Davey was leaving “with the integration of NYX now fully complete.”
