US Expansion 2018 - 2025

FanDuel

US Retail Sportsbook Build-out

Relocated as part of Paddy Power Betfair's first US expansion wave in 2018. Played an instrumental role in designing, launching, and operating the FanDuel Sportsbook at Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey, one of the most significant and highest-volume retail sportsbooks in the US market.

As FanDuel rapidly expanded across the United States, I progressed through five leadership roles spanning retail development, commercial operations, and strategic partnerships:

  • Senior Director, Strategic Partnerships Led FanDuel's regulated gaming partnerships, delivered $6M+ in cost savings through commercial renegotiation, and increased partner satisfaction scores from 87% to 94% in year one
  • Senior Commercial Director Full P&L ownership across multiple regulated states, leading commercial performance across a portfolio representing more than $900M in cumulative revenue
  • Sportsbook Commercial Development Director Designed, built and launched 20 retail sportsbooks across multiple states, including 6 sites in 4 states during Covid-19.
  • Director of Retail Projects hands-on launch of the Meadowlands flagship

Why this background is unique

Most gaming consultants have expertise in one area of the industry. My experience spans finance, operations, retail sportsbook launches, commercial leadership, strategic partnerships, governance, and market access.

Having worked from racecourses and betting shops through to executive leadership at FanDuel, I bring a practical operator's perspective grounded in real-world execution rather than theory.
