New York-headquartered Fanatics Betting and Gaming (FBG) has appointed Hank Couture as its new chief operating officer (COO).
Couture joins Fanatics from American online food ordering and delivery platform DoorDash, where he served for more than seven years, most recently as vice president of US Marketplace.
He will be a member of the FBG executive team and play an integral role in developing strategies across operations as the Fanatics Sportsbook readies to launch nationwide in mid-2023.
“We are excited to add Hank to our leadership team as COO. Hank’s experience in building one of the largest marketplaces in the US is exactly the type of person we are looking for at Fanatics Betting and Gaming, and as our new COO, his impressive track record of success will provide us with valuable insight as we build a sportsbook that is easy to use, trustworthy and more rewarding for sports fans,” Matt King, CEO of Fanatics Betting and Gaming, said.
“This is an exciting opportunity to build something from the ground up. I look forward to bringing my knowledge and experience in building DoorDash to the sports betting industry and help build something that exceeds expectations for our customers,” Hank Couture said.
