Amy Howe, CEO of FanDuel Group, has been recognized as the C-Suite Executive of the Year at the 2024 American Gambling Awards. The accolade highlights Howe’s significant contributions to the company since she took on the role in 2021.
The American Gambling Awards, organized by Gambling.com Group Limited, celebrate the top executives and companies shaping the regulated US online gambling sector. The award recognizes Howe as instrumental in driving FanDuel’s growth and innovation in a rapidly evolving market.
“Winning the American Gambling Awards C-Suite Executive of the Year is a huge honor,” said Howe. “This wouldn’t be possible without my team at FanDuel, who continues to deliver an industry-leading product experience for our customers.”
Under Howe’s leadership, FanDuel launched the Women’s Leadership Development Program, aimed at advancing the careers of women within the organization by providing tailored support for both seasoned executives and emerging leaders.
Howe’s strategic vision has also strengthened FanDuel’s market presence. In 2023, the company introduced “The Pulse,” an innovative real-time betting experience designed to engage fans with live sports narratives, enhancing the interactivity of the betting process.
“We are delighted to recognize Amy Howe as the 2024 American Gambling Awards C-Suite Executive of the Year,” said Gambling.com Group co-founder and CEO, Charles Gillespie.
“Under Amy’s outstanding leadership, FanDuel has furthered its leadership position in the U.S. online gambling market to heights that many industry observers didn’t think possible. A relative newcomer to the industry, Amy has already left an indelible mark,” he added.
Notably, FanDuel became the first online sportsbook to achieve EBITDA profitability during Howe’s tenure, reflecting her ability to drive sustainable growth. Her strong relationships with major professional leagues, including the NFL, NBA, WNBA, and MLB, have further distinguished FanDuel in a competitive landscape.
This year, FanDuel leveraged these partnerships to offer exclusive streaming services and unique fan offers.
