Lotto.com has appointed former FanDuel VP of Business Operations Ruxandra Tereanu as the online lottery platform’s new COO, where she is set to oversee operational strategy and execution.
Tereanu spent 13 years working with Flutter Entertainment, Flutter UK&I and FanDuel in various leadership roles, as her appointment was joined by the hiring of Amanda Coyle as Lotto.com’s new VP of Human Resources on July 15.
"Ruxandra and Amanda bring a powerful combination of operational expertise, leadership experience and people-first thinking that will help drive Lotto.com's next phase of growth," Lotto.com CEO Thomas Metzger said.
"As we continue expanding our platform and reach, their leadership will be instrumental in scaling our business while maintaining the strong culture and customer experience that define Lotto.com."
Coyle will lead Lotto.com's people strategy, including talent acquisition, employee experience, leadership development, compensation and benefits and organizational effectiveness.
"Lotto.com is at an exciting stage of growth," Coyle said.
"I'm excited to help build and scale the people strategy, strengthen leadership capabilities and create an employee experience that supports both business performance and long-term success."
Tereanu also spoke on her new appointment, having said, "Lottery is the last major gaming category moving online, and the opportunity ahead is enormous.
“What attracted me to Lotto.com is the combination of innovation, growth and impact. As the business expands, we have an opportunity to reach new customers, enter new markets and continue growing contributions to the state programs that benefit from lottery revenue."
Lotto.com stated both appointments are part of an effort to strengthen the organization’s executive leadership team ahead of additional US expansion.
On July 9, Lotto.com launched its lottery courier services platform in Puerto Rico, representing the organization’s first market entry outside of the US and its inaugural introduction to a primarily Spanish-speaking market.
At the time of writing, Lotto.com is only offering draw games in Puerto Rico, but residents will still gain access to games such as Powerball, Double Play, Powerplay, Loto Cash and multiple daily contests.
Lotto.com began working with the NCPG to support players during Problem Gambling Awareness Month in March, featuring the ‘Caring Communities, Stronger Futures’ theme
