Flutter Entertainment-owned FanDuel Group has appointed Dale Hooper to the newly created position of general manager for Canada.
In the role, Hooper will be responsible for developing and implementing FanDuel’s long-term strategy in Canada, in keeping with the nation’s regulatory and legalization process within each province.
Hooper joins FanDuel from Deloitte Canada, where was most recently a partner focused on the cannabis industry. Prior to this, he served as president and chief executive of Cannabis Compliance Inc. (CCI) until December 2019, when the business was acquired by Deloitte.
Before joining CCI, Hooper held a number of leadership roles at Rogers Communications, including chief brand officer, a position in which he helped deliver all key business, customer satisfaction, and brand metrics over a three-year turnaround period.
