Brent Scrimshaw to Step Down as CEO of Atlantic Lottery

Brent Scrimshaw, the President and CEO of Atlantic Lottery, has informed the Director Board about his retirement after more than 13 years with the Corporation, eight in its most senior leadership role.

Brent had made significant investments in technology to launch a new lottery gaming system. He directed player-focused strategies that resulted in increased returns to Atlantic Canadians.

“Brent has always been firmly committed to operating Atlantic Lottery in a way that reflects the values and priorities of Atlantic Canadians. Under his leadership, the organization is better positioned to compete in an everchanging global market in a socially responsible way,” Sean O’Connor, Chair of Atlantic Lottery’s Board of Directors said.

“The success we have enjoyed is completely attributable to the skills of the 600 members of our team. I will miss their spirit, their commitment to the company and to each other to get the job done. I am thankful to the Board of Directors for the opportunity to have led this team of immensely talented professionals throughout the region,” Scrimshaw said.

The Director Board of Atlantic Lottery is responsible for selecting and appointing the next President and CEO. The search process will take several months and Scrimshaw has agreed to stay on as long as necessary to ensure a smooth transition.
