Rush Street Gaming has appointed Dawn Reynolds Pettit, previously of Hard Rock Casino, as its new senior vice president of human resources.
Based out of Rush Street Gaming’s headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, Pettit will lead efforts to standardise and scale best practices in workforce development at the business’s portfolio casinos in four states.
Pettit joins Rush Street Gaming from Hard Rock Casino, where was regional vice president of human resources and oversaw multiple properties in states including Virginia, Illinois and Indiana.
Prior to this, she was regional vice president of human resources at Caesars Entertainment for 19 years at Horseshoe Hammond.
“I’ve long admired Rush Street Gaming and its momentum in the casino industry,” Pettit said. “I look forward to collaborating with the amazing talent on the Rush Street teams and especially working with the HR leaders to take the people side of the business to a whole new level.
Rush Street Gaming chief executive Tim Drehkoff added: “Dawn is a proven leader in the gaming industry with a strong track record for developing and managing talent strategies, mentoring, and advocacy.
“As we prepare to open our fifth Rivers Casino in January 2023, located in Virginia’s Hampton Roads region, we’re excited to have Dawn join our growing team.”
