MONCTON (N.B.) – The Board of Directors of Atlantic Lottery is pleased to announce the appointment of Patrick Daigle as the organization’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer. Daigle began his Atlantic Lottery career in 1997, and recently served as Chief Financial Officer. Daigle’s official start date is Feb. 8, 2021.

Sean O’Connor, Chair of Atlantic Lottery’s Board of Directors, said Daigle’s nearly 25 years of proven senior leadership experience will be a valued asset to the organization during the transitional period.

“Patrick is a well-respected and accomplished executive leader at Atlantic Lottery, and we appreciate him stepping into this role.”

Daigle’s proven senior leadership experience includes finance, supply-chain management, legal services, risk management, Board governance and information security.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to lead the Atlantic Lottery team as we continue to deliver on an outstanding player experience while remaining firmly committed to operating in a socially responsible manner,” Daigle said.

Chris Keevill, who has served as President and CEO since April 2020, is resigning to return to the private sector.

“The Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris for his contributions to Atlantic Lottery over the past several months,” O’Connor said.

Atlantic Lottery’s Board of Directors is responsible for selecting and appointing the President and CEO. In the coming months, the Board will begin an executive search process for a permanent CEO.
