The former ESPN executive, Ryan Spoon, is the new COO at BetMGM, the sports betting joint venture between MGM Resorts and GVC Holdings.
Spoon was until now senior vice president of social and digital content at ESPN and has held several other major positions at the subscription TV network.
Said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt: “BetMGM has seen early success in establishing itself as a significant player in the sports betting world through relationships with leagues, teams and partners.
"With Ryan’s expertise in developing scaled and engaging experiences, BetMGM will leverage those relationships in entirely new ways.”
BetMGM has partnerships with the NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, PGA Tour and NASCAR.
