WHERE THE FUN BEGINS

Do you have at least five (5) years of experience in corporate transactional work including public company M&A?  Are you great with understanding the complexities of a highly regulated industry that spans three continents?  Do you want to work for an open, and supportive leader?  Do you want to take your experience and apply it to a fairly new and emerging industry (online casino gaming and sportsbetting)?
