Gaming enterprise, Aristocrat Leisure, has named Bill Lance, a revered indigenous leader, to its governing body. Lance held the position of Secretary of Commerce for the Chickasaw Nation, a prominent Oklahoma-based tribe, for the longest tenure. During this time, he managed a varied collection of enterprises and a workforce of thousands. Since concluding his tenure, Lance has maintained leadership roles in several groups, including the American Gaming Association. His knowledge in business and tribal affairs makes him an asset to Aristocrat’s board. Neil Chatfield, the company’s chairman, conveyed enthusiasm in greeting Lance, emphasizing his vast background.
His extensive background spanning several decades as a frontrunner in the interactive entertainment sector and in Indigenous American tribal administration will be indispensable to our leadership team.
I am certain he echoes our dedication to prioritizing patrons, and I anticipate he will make a substantial impact on Aristocrat.”
Aristocrat’s investors will decide on his proposed appointment to the board during their yearly gathering in February 2023.
This announcement follows closely after Aristocrat’s purchase of Roxor Gaming, a UK-headquartered gaming provider, which was finalized in the preceding month.
