Kennedy has served as vice chairman of the company’s board and a member of its executive and finance committee teams since October 2009. He also served as an executive of Scientific Games from November 2010 until March 2012, including as chief administrative officer.
“I am honoured that the board has selected me to lead Scientific Games and I am excited about the opportunity to work with the talented executive team in place to continue to grow the business,” said Kennedy following his appointment.
“Scientific Games is well positioned to offer customers a complete suite of products and services, expand opportunities for our employees and drive enhanced value for our stockholders.”
Kennedy replaces Lorne Weil with immediate effect. Scientific Games gave no reason for Weil’s departure from the company, where he has served for over 20 years.
