The recent retirement of former CFO James Bunitsky, who had joined the business in 1981, and spent more than forty years in various finance roles, is followed by this news.
This includes the 2022 sale of the company’s lottery division to Brookfield Business Partners, who opted to take on the former parent company’s legacy name, now known as Light & Wonder.
“We are grateful for Jim Bunitsky’s outstanding financial leadership and excited to now add Nick to our executive leadership team in the role of CFO,” said Scientific Games CEO Pat McHugh.
Nick, a results-driven professional, has 20 years of financial, strategic, operational management, and leadership experience for large businesses in various sectors.
Prior to joining the lottery business, he held various CFO appointments at Honeywell, Dover Corporation, and Navistar, where he gained experience in developing and executing financial strategies for international companies.
Nick holds a BSc in Finance from the University of Illinois and an MBA in Accounting and Finance from DePaul University. He resides in Atlanta, where the company’s global headquarters are located.
This new appointment follows several senior personnel changes at the lottery provider, including the hiring of former Trump advisor James Schultz as Executive Vice President of Public Policy and Public Affairs, and the appointment of Mona Garland as Chief Human Resources Officer.
