The online lottery broker Jackpocket appointed Jump Ramp Games’ founder Tony Vartanian as its new chief revenue and growth officer.
Vartanian’s role will include leading the development of new products and revenue streams, including new content and game formats. He will also lead the geographical expansion of the company into new markets.
Vartanian stated that Jackpocket was the leader of the digital lottery market and he couldn’t have been more excited to join their leadership team during this exciting time of national growth and expansion.
The market’s future is a place where they are committed to innovation and bringing new products and experiences. Jackpocket has been able to build on an impressive track record and I am looking forward to capturing the attention of the 150+ million US lottery players who play the game every year.
Vartanian founded Jump Ramp Games, a mobile-first publisher of apps and a performance marketing company in 2011. He served as the chief executive up until MobilityWare acquired it in 2019.
Then he served as the general manager of the Jump Ramp Group in the MobilityWare company.
Jackpocket’s founder and CEO Pete Sullivan stated, “We welcome Tony and his expertise in product development and marketing to our Jackpocket world. We look forward to continuing our rapid growth.”
“I have long admired and watched what Tony has achieved at Jump Ramp Games. Jackpocket, a previous client of Jump Ramp Games, shares my vision for providing our players the best possible user experience and gaming products.”
Jackpocket was appointed after raising $120m in a Series D round of funding that included celebrities and athletes. Famous names like Kevin Hart, Whitney Cummings and Mark Cuban as well as baseball player Manny Machado were all involved in the round.
