The company was once again in the headlines this week with the announcement that Matthew Whalen has been hired as their new Senior Vice President for Global Technology Solutions. GTech stands apart from the crowd as one of the few online gambling corporations to be based in the United States, in spite of the continued dominance of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

Whalen’s resume is comprehensive enough to have properly prepared him to dive into such a lucrative position with Gtech: he has been employed with the firm for well over a decade, having been hired in 1994 as a software engineer. He holds a degree in computer information systems from the College of Saint Rose in New York, as well an Applied Associates degree in science, focusing on computer science from the State University of New York. "Matt is a seasoned lottery professional who brings over 16 years of industry expertise to our worldwide customer-facing technology organization,” said the chiefe executive officer and president for GTech, Jaymin Patel. “As a result, our customers will benefit from his impressive and wide-ranging experience in technology operations, innovation and software development.
