Chief Executive Officer

About the role

We are headhunting alongside an established gaming operator with a broad multi-channel presence across the Caribbean, spanning retail distribution, company-owned outlets, and digital and mobile platforms. Following a period of sustained growth, they are seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the business through its next phase of digital transformation and market expansion. This is a role for someone equally comfortable in the boardroom and on the ground. Much of the business's commercial success comes from relationships built directly with retail partners, from independent bar owners to community stores, right across the distribution network. You will set the strategic direction while staying close enough to the relationships that genuinely drive revenue in this industry. Candidates currently based in Florida with strong Caribbean market experience or connections are encouraged to apply, provided they are open to relocating. Based in the Caribbean, relocation required.

Responsibilities

• Setting and delivering the company's long-term strategic direction in partnership with the Board.
• Overseeing a distribution network spanning retail partners, company-owned outlets, and digital platforms.
• Leading commercial and financial performance, including budgeting, forecasting, and EBITDA delivery.
• Acting as the primary point of contact with regulatory bodies and other key stakeholders.
• Building and leading a senior executive team across operations, finance, and technology.

Requirements

• A minimum of 15 years of progressive senior leadership experience, including at least 5 years at C-suite or equivalent level.
• Experience within lottery, gaming, fintech, or another highly regulated retail or consumer sector.
• A strong understanding of Caribbean regulatory environments would be preferable, or a demonstrated ability to assimilate complex regulatory frameworks quickly.
• Genuine, on-the-ground relationships across Caribbean retail and community networks.
• A background spanning both digital platform growth and traditional retail distribution would be an advantage, as would prior experience reporting directly to a Board.

Benefits

• The opportunity to lead a business through a genuine digital transformation.
• Direct Board exposure and full accountability for strategic direction.
