DENVER, July 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PointsBet, a premier global online gaming operator, announced today the hiring of industry heavyweight Aaron O'Sullivan as Vice President of Online Casino Revenue, set to oversee North American operations. O'Sullivan will bring to PointsBet nearly 15 years of international iGaming experience and will sit on the U.S. executive leadership team, reporting into PointsBet U.S. CEO Johnny Aitken.
"I am thrilled to join the growing PointsBet team and welcome the opportunity ahead, particularly in shaping the online casino operation within the company's proprietary tech framework," said O'Sullivan.
