FanDuel Secures Future with Key Executive Appointments

FanDuel Group, part of Flutter Entertainment, has announced two key executive appointments aimed at securing long-term leadership continuity. Effective immediately, Christian Genetski has been promoted to the role of President, FanDuel Group. Mike Raffensperger has been named to the newly created position of Chief Commercial Officer. Both executives will continue their long tenures with FanDuel, during which they have helped steward the company’s explosive growth.

Genetski will oversee all of FanDuel’s business development, partnership, corporate strategy, and government affairs units. He will also be responsible for driving FanDuel’s vision and execution of strategic partnerships and new business initiatives to extend the company’s leadership position. Previously FanDuel’s Chief Legal Officer, Genetski has played a historic role working with legislators, regulators and industry counterparts across the United States to unlock sports betting in the U.S., build the regulatory framework operators follow, and do so in a manner that positioned FanDuel for success.

Raffensperger will oversee revenue generation across FanDuel’s sportsbook, casino, racing, daily fantasy and free-to-play platforms. The new position significantly expands Raffensperger’s duties to include commercial leadership, which had previously been run by Amy Howe, Chief Executive Officer. In addition, he will also assume oversight for FanDuel’s content and programming assets including the company’s broadly distributed cable network - TVG.
