Reporting to CEO Jason Robins, Kalani will look to elevate and integrate the US sports betting and gaming operator’s player safety and protection activities and initiatives across all facets of its platforms and player communities.

She previously worked for Cozen O’Connor law firm and co-chaired the State Attorneys General Practice.

Kalani said her new post is an “exciting opportunity for me to bolster the efforts of the company and look for opportunities to reinforce our responsible gaming initiatives.”

“I am eager to partner with colleagues, regulators, industry leaders, and community advocates to further demonstrate DraftKings’ commitment to responsible gaming and promote a healthy gaming environment for all customers,” she added.

Kalani has previous experience in consumer protection law and has working relationships with regulators, attorneys general and other key stakeholders.

Robins said responsible gaming is a “core part of our mission to build games that our customers can enjoy responsibly.”

“In this leadership role, Lori will further advance our responsible gaming initiatives and uphold our commitment to setting new industry standards,” he added.
