GLMS Elects Lori Sullivan to its Executive Committee

GLMS has announced it has elected Lori Sullivan, Executive VP and COO at Canada’s Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), to its Executive Committee. Sullivan has been elected to the executive committee following the resignation of Sami Kauhanen from his post at Finland’s Veikkhaus at the end of August 2020.

Lori has served in a senior capacity in the lottery and gaming industry for almost a decade. As Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at OLG, she is currently responsible for the business performance of OLG lines of business including sports betting, which uphold high standards of game integrity, regulatory compliance, player protection, responsible gambling and social responsibility. Before joining OLG, Lori was a partner at the law firm Davies, Ward, Phillips & Vineberg LLP as a corporate transactional attorney.

“I am pleased to be able to support the efforts of GMLS to promote and ensure the integrity of worldwide sports betting,” Lori Sullivan said.

“I am really delighted to welcome Lori on our GLMS Executive Committee. She brings to GLMS tremendous experience not only as a prominent North American Lottery Executive but also as the former OLG General Counsel. She is currently responsible for the business performance of OLG’s lines of business including sports betting which upholds high standards of game integrity, regulatory compliance, player protection, responsible gambling and social responsibility. I am confident that Lori will enhance the profile and awareness of GLMS among North American industry partners, stakeholders, regulators, policy makers, sport organizations and law enforcement agencies. It is one of our strategic priorities to acquire new members in North America, as many States and Provinces are regulating sports betting and there is a need to advocate and educate legislators and policy makers on best practices for creating and implementing effective integrity measures for a responsible and sustainable betting market environment,” Ludovico Calvi, president of GLMS, said.
