iGaming player acquisition services provider Gambling.com Group Limited announced Monday that Peter McGough has been appointed as Vice President of Investor Relations. McGough joins the Group from Viridian Capital Advisors, where he most recently served in an Institutional Sales role.
In his new position, McGough will be responsible for developing and implementing the overall investor relations program as well as communicating the vision and value of the Group’s business to its shareholders and the financial community.
In an official press release, Charles Gillespie, CEO of Gambling.com Group, stated: “Pete brings a wealth of experience and a fantastic network from his decades of experience in the New York finance community. Having such a talented individual working inside the business, full-time and at the VP level will ensure we deliver a best-in-class investor relations program.”
McGough has over 25 years of sell-side experience. At Viridian Capital Advisors, McGough introduced private equity funds, institutional investors, high net worth individuals and family offices to key clients in the emerging technology, cannabis and healthcare sectors.
Previously, McGough led the North American corporate access team at Credit Suisse and the sector specialist sales team at JP Morgan. In his role as a tech specialist at both firms, McGough’s responsibilities included partnering and advising on investor relations strategies with corporate entities.
“I am excited to be joining the team at Gambling.com Group,” McGough said. “The team, the culture and the market opportunity the company offers is unmatched. I look forward to leveraging my background in capital markets and investor engagement to rapidly accelerate the investment community’s appreciation of the talent within Gambling.com Group and the growth opportunity in front of this organization.”
McGough holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Pace University’s Lubin School of Business and a Master of Business Administration with an emphasis in Banking, Corporate, Finance and Securities Law from Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business.
Last week, Gambling.com announced the appointment of Michael Quartieri to its board of directors, a move effective as of June 30, after being recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and receiving approval from the Board.
Quartieri has extensive experience, including several years within the gaming industry. He served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Scientific Games from 2015 to 2020; and he had previously spent nine years with Las Vegas Sands in multiple roles ending as Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Global Controller.
