During his time at Fortress, Fortress-affiliated funds supported GameCo by financing its growth through investments beginning in 2018.
“Adam brings the ideal combination of sector expertise, financial acumen, strategic vision and proven leadership at a truly exciting time for GameCo,” said Robert Montgomery, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “His deep industry relationships, obvious passion and innate talent for anticipating what is changing around the delivery of game play and regulated gaming experiences make Adam the ideal choice to lead the GameCo team as the Company expands beyond land-based gaming to pursue parallel market leadership in digital.”
As Chief Executive Officer, Rosenberg will also be joining the company’s Board of Directors, where he has been a Board Observer since 2018.
“Having focused on the evolution of gaming technology companies throughout my career, I am proud to be leading GameCo’s efforts to provide the next generation of games to operating partners and players,” said Rosenberg. “The global demand for differentiated gaming experiences is set for unprecedented growth, and the Company is ideally positioned to lead an exciting new category at the intersection of video games, online wagering, and esports.”
Rosenberg began his career in 1993 as an attorney in the New York office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, where he worked in the Product Liability and Intellectual Property Groups.
