FanDuel Bolsters Government Relations Team with Experienced Government Staffers

Published

on

 

FanDuel Group, the premier online gaming company in North America, announced that James Hartmann and Louis Trombetta have joined FanDuel as Directors of Government Relations. Both Trombetta and Hartmann bring a wealth of experience to the team as FanDuel looks to strengthen its relationships in existing states of operation and new states into which it aims to expand.

“As we continue to evolve our government relations team, we are excited to bring in two experienced professionals who understand our business, are deeply respected by legislators and can help us continue to show the positive impact legal and regulated gaming can have for states,” said Cesar Fernandez, Head of State Government Relations at FanDuel.

James Hartmann

Hartmann began his career as a prosecutor in Chicago and New York City before moving into politics. His experience brought him to the Illinois House of Representatives where he served in multiple roles before becoming the Chief Counsel to the Illinois Speaker of the House and House Parliamentarian. Throughout his time in the Illinois House, he was involved in all aspects of the legislative process and played a crucial role in some of the most consequential legislation in state history. Hartmann was also the lead gaming attorney for the House, where he negotiated and drafted legislation that legalized sports betting in Illinois and legislation that authorized a long-awaited casino in Chicago.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Kentucky and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Notre Dame. In 2023, he was named to Chicago Lawyer Magazine’s 40 under 40.

“FanDuel has always stood out to me for the company’s innovation and its commitment to shaping the future of gaming in a responsible way. I look forward to bringing my legislative and legal expertise to the team in a way that continues to support FanDuel’s growth,” said Hartmann.

Louis Trombetta

With over a decade of gaming industry experience, Trombetta’s unique blend of legal insight and industry knowledge will contribute significantly to FanDuel’s ongoing success. Prior to joining FanDuel, Trombetta served as the inaugural Executive Director of the Florida Gaming Control Commission, where he successfully established the new agency, led the agency’s legislative priorities and oversaw the regulation of the state’s gaming industry. His strategic leadership and deep understanding of regulatory frameworks will be invaluable as FanDuel continues to seek to expand its operations.

A graduate of the State University of New York, College at Brockport, and the University of Florida Levin College of Law, Trombetta is a member of the International Masters of Gaming Law and former board member of the Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI).

BETER names Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager

 

Award-winning fast-betting content provider strengthens its position in the region with the latest hire

BETER, the in-demand provider of fast-betting content, data, and live streaming for esports and sports, has strengthened its team with the appointment of Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager.

Juliana, a seasoned business development specialist based in Brazil, has extensive experience in the Latin American iGaming industry. She has previously held various business development positions at Better Collective, Endorphina, Salsa Technology, and other companies. Her expertise was recognized by the G&M News platform, which included her in its Top 5 Women in the Industry 2024 list—highlighting women making significant contributions to the growth of iGaming in the region.

In her new role at BETER, she will drive the company’s expansion across Latin America, forging new partnerships with regional operators and aggregators, particularly in Brazil, where demand for BETER’s content continues to grow.

She will also drive BETER into new LatAm markets where the provider does not currently have a presence while managing relationships with existing partners to ensure they get the most out of the provider’s next-gen content offering.

Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Latin America is a fast-moving market with opportunities opening up all the time. To capitalize on these, we need an exceptional specialist, and in Juliana, we have found exactly that. Her expertise and deep market knowledge make her a valuable addition to our team.

“We are already experiencing strong demand for our fast-betting products and solutions across the region. With Juliana on board, we can further identify key operators that would benefit from partnering with us, driving even greater growth.

“I’m delighted to welcome Juliana to the BETER team.”

Juliana Querino commented: “Fast-betting content has become essential for operators in Latin America and beyond, and I’m thrilled to join BETER in expanding awareness of its award-winning portfolio.

“I look forward to helping BETER maximize the full potential of the LatAm market.”
