FanDuel Group is making significant strides in their legal division! They recently revealed that Carolyn Renzin, their highly successful Chief Compliance Officer, is being elevated to the position of Chief Legal Officer as well.
Essentially, she will oversee all aspects of ensuring FanDuel functions properly and within legal boundaries – encompassing legal affairs, risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and responsible gaming practices. She has cultivated a robust team dedicated to safeguarding FanDuel’s clientele, a paramount concern in the online gaming realm.
Carolyn possesses extensive experience in high-pressure legal matters. Prior to joining FanDuel, she excelled as a legal expert at J.P. Morgan, navigating regulatory litigation and managing their legal department. Her background also includes compliance consulting and expertise in litigation and regulatory enforcement from her tenure at a law firm.
Christian Genetski, FanDuel’s President, expressed his enthusiasm for her leadership, describing her as a “driven, skilled, compassionate, and dedicated leader.” He commended her contributions in reshaping the company’s regulatory and compliance operations, a critical factor in FanDuel’s continued expansion.
This announcement follows significant leadership transitions at FanDuel last year, with Genetski assuming the role of President and Mike Raffensperger taking on the newly established position of Chief Commercial Officer. It appears they are assembling a formidable team to navigate the dynamic landscape of online gaming.
Flutter, the company behind FanDuel, is restructuring its management team to foster greater stability and efficiency. All executives will now answer directly to Chief Executive Officer Amy Howe, streamlining communication and decision processes. This change comes amidst a period of substantial expansion for Flutter, particularly following the recent debut of their live dealer studios in Michigan and Pennsylvania under the Evolution name. These studios are crucial to FanDuel’s growth in the United States, where they provide a range of online wagering choices such as sports wagering, daily fantasy sports, casino offerings, and equestrian betting.
