Andy Wright has announced he has left his role as senior vice-president of trading at Fanatics Betting and Gaming (FBG).
Wright joined Fanatics in May 2022 from his previous position of trading director at KingMakers.
Wright’s time at Fanatics saw the company launch its sportsbook offering in January 2023. With its launch at the then-named FedExField in Maryland, Fanatics became the first sports betting operator to open a retail sportsbook within a National Football League stadium.
Fanatics has since expanded across the US, launching its online casino in November 2023. Additionally during Wright’s tenure, FBG acquired PointsBet’s US business for $225m (£179.2m/€208.5m).
In a Linkedin post, Wright stated he was “incredibly grateful” for his time at Fanatics helping to build its betting and gaming division.
“Now it’s time to recharge the batteries and spend more time with the family before finding a new venture,” Wright said.
“All the best to the team at Fanatics Betting & Gaming. ..
