The appointment comes after Brad Desmarais announced his retirement from the role last month, with Beebe moving into the position on a temporary basis from November 1.
Beebe, who was previously director of lottery strategic development at the BCLC, will serve as interim COO while a permanent replacement for Desmarais is sought.
“Beebe brings extensive industry experience, including previous leadership roles in digital services, eLottery and strategic business development,” the BCLC said.
