President and Founder

Scientific Games is a leading innovator in the global lottery and regulated gaming industries. Beginning with the breakthrough technology that launched the world’s very first secure instant lottery game in 1974, the company has continued to advance the games, technology, programs, marketing research and security that have been a driving force behind the success of more than 300 customers on six continents over the last 40 years.

I am a high-tech serial entrepreneur who has created several successful companies over the last 3 decades, taking one of them public and selling six others to tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, Dell, and Seagate. My expertise lies in consumer products, digital audio and video, data storage technology, cloud services, computer vision solutions, AgTech, and general device/service (IoT) ecosystems with special focus on product vision/strategy, engineering, UX, business development, and product marketing. I have served in executive roles directly for Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Michael Dell learning how those leaders achieved product innovations and expanded their businesses. I can span from high-level vision to hands-on implementation, always focused on innovation and creating new markets or growing existing ones. In addition to my product experience, I also have extensive experience growing and leading teams of all disciplines from sales to engineering to manufacturing and beyond. I am extremely passionate about motivating and leading teams to help make the impossible possible in order to find new business opportunities. I have extensive experience dealing with press, analysts, and serving as spokesperson for both large public companies and startups alike. In parallel with my tech career, I have extensive experience in the agriculture industry having built a successful olive oil, vineyard, and wine business over the course of several decades.
