The appointments, which include four promotions and three new hires, are all at a senior executive level and span across a range of business functions. 

Bill Miller, President and CEO, AGA, commented: “I’m immensely proud of the team we have built at the AGA. Today’s announcement reflects their hard work and significant achievements on behalf of our members and the gaming industry.  

“These talented professionals, and the rest of our strong AGA team, will help us continue to lead the industry through this new era of growth.” 

Alex Costello has been promoted to Vice President of Government Relations and will be tasked with directing the AGA’s federal advocacy efforts.

As part of her responsibilities, Costello will lead a drive to modernise payment technology within the industry, stamp out human trafficking and lead the Association’s fight against anti-money laundering. 

David Forman is promoted to Vice President of Research, and will be positioned as the Association’s point of contact for industry officials, members, media and investors. He’ll oversee consumer products, such as the Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker and AGA Gaming Industry Outlook. 

Gabrielle Voorhees has been promoted to Vice President of Finance and Operations and will be tasked with continuing to ensure the company’s financial security, having done so in her former role during the pandemic. 

The final promotion is for Brandon Leggiero, who moves to Senior Director of Member and Partner Relations. His role will be to attract new clients and retain current members. 

The AGA also announced the appointments of Tres York, Christopher Browne and Annabelle Goese, who will take up positions in government relations, media relations and member services, respectively.  

Miller continued: “The addition of high-calibre talent like Tres, Christopher and Annabelle enhance our ability to advance gaming’s interests and deliver member value.”
