gaming industry? man, Dadakota's other alias is Scott Andrews? Here comes euro Greek scrubs to the Rockets. Natalie works for me. I'm fine.
Yup, as per his LinkedIn profile, he spent a long time in Marketing at Harrah's casinos. He has a slightly non-traditional background for this role. Doesn't seem to have the strategy/consulting background that the original job description seemed to be looking for but does have experience of marketing within the leisure/entertainment industry in droves.
Often, when an extremely high profile position posts a "Help Wanted" ad it has been scripted to match someone already chosen for the job. It's a way around open/fair hiring rules.
