North American sports entertainment operator PrizePicks has named former Uber executive Nick Zabriskie as Senior Vice President of Public Affairs.
Zabriskie brings extensive experience in public affairs, having shaped policy initiatives at both state and federal levels in the U.S. and abroad. At Uber, he was one of the company’s earliest policy team members, contributing to strategies that expanded ridesharing services, reduced drunk driving, created economic opportunities, and supported the broader on-demand economy.
His roles at Uber included Head of Marketplace Policy, Head of Policy for Self-Driving Initiatives, and positions on the Work and Economic Policy team. Prior to Uber, Zabriskie served on Capitol Hill and as Director of Government Relations at Capitol Hill Consulting Group.
“Nick is the perfect person to lead our public affairs efforts for PrizePicks’ next chapter of innovation,” said Jason Barclay, Chief Legal Officer and Head of Public Policy at PrizePicks. “His reputation for ingenuity, integrity, and transparency are the values upon which our advocacy and public policy strategies are built.”
Zabriskie commented, “The team has done an incredible job of creating innovative products and putting customers at the forefront, delivering the ultimate sports entertainment experience.” He highlighted the company’s innovative products, customer-focused approach, and the opportunity to reach more people while upholding high standards of player protection and compliance.
PrizePicks continues to expand nationwide and maintain industry-leading compliance standards. In 2025, it earned iCAP accreditation from the National Council on Problem Gambling, becoming the first fantasy sports operator to receive the certification.
