Financial Officer Nick Negro Named by Scientific Games

March 13, 2023

Scientific Games began looking for a new chief financial officer to replace James Bunitsky after his retirement.

In April of 2022, Scientific Games Lottery was sold to Brookfield Business Partners, and Bunitsky played a key role in the transaction. He joined Scientific Games in 1981.

In May 2013, Negro took his first position with Navistar, bringing with him a wealth of expertise as a chief financial officer. Afterwards, he continued in the same role at Honeywell and Dover Food Retail, among others.

He was most recently promoted to the position of vice president at Honeywell, an aerospace industry leader in industrial solutions.

In a statement, Scientific Games CEO Pat McHugh expressed gratitude for Jim Bunitsky's exceptional financial leadership and expressed excitement about the addition of Nick to the Executive Leadership Team as CFO.

His extensive knowledge of corporate structure, compliance, and strategy, along with his in-depth comprehension of the complexities of international operations in a service-based firm, makes him an invaluable asset.

"With Nick at the helm, our worldwide company will be well-managed financially going forward."

McHugh continued by saying that when it comes to contracts involving the government's lottery, it's crucial to follow all applicable laws and regulations and adhere to best practices in corporate governance.

Using his twenty years of expertise as a chief financial officer, Negro will direct the company's future financial, strategic, and operational operations.

On a worldwide scale, Scientific Games supplies lottery services with games, technology, analytics, and more. It is now active in more than 50 countries.
