Scientific Games has appointed Nick Negro as its new chief financial officer. He replaces James Bunitsky, who is retiring after more than four decades with the business. The Scientific Games CFO transition comes as the company continues expanding its lottery and digital operations.

• Scientific Games confirmed Negro has joined the business with immediate effect following a search process for the role. Before joining the company, he held finance leadership positions at Honeywell, Dover Corporation and Navistar. The company said his experience includes financial planning, operations and international business management.
• Bunitsky spent more than 40 years with Scientific Games and helped oversee several corporate changes during his time with the supplier. These included the 2022 sale of the lottery business to Brookfield Business Partners. CEO Pat McHugh said: “Guided by Nick’s financial expertise, we look forward to the next chapter of sound financial management of our global business.”
• The new Scientific Games CFO will be based at the company’s metro Atlanta headquarters. Scientific Games said it currently serves around 130 lottery customers across 50 countries with retail, digital and technology products. The supplier has recently increased its focus on digital lottery and omnichannel services in North America and Europe.
