Scientific Games Picks Christine Wechsler for Senior Company Role

She is joining a team of ambitious individuals who have worked in the sectors of government affairs, public policy, and advocacy for many years, helping shape and spur Scientific Games’ business forward and facilitating growth in establishing the company in new markets.

Bringing In a Well-Versed Legal Veteran

Part of the team’s job is to ensure that it secures partnerships with government-regulated lotteries and assists them in achieving their milestones and operational goals, which reflects positively on Scientific Games’ own operations, and drives them forward.

Wechsler has more than 20 years of experience working in similar environments and she has done various stints at numerous companies, including Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP.

She also served as executive deputy general counsel to the governor in the Pennsylvania Governor’s Office of General Counsel, making her an individual who is well-versed in government and public policy affairs and a strong fit to move forward Scientific Games’ ambitions in these verticals.  

She also worked as an assistant district attorney for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office and served as both assistant chief of the policy and legislation unit and legislative liaison for the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association.
