BetMGM proudly welcomes Jarrod Schwarz as its newest Chief Operating Officer.

On Friday, BetMGM, a top name in iGaming and sports betting, made waves by appointing Jarrod Schwarz as their new Chief Operating Officer.

Schwarz isn't just another appointment; he's a veteran who brings vast industry knowledge, especially from his time at BetMGM. With five years as Chief Product Officer, he’s stepping into his new role fully prepared to tackle the company’s unique challenges and seize the exciting growth opportunities ahead. Expressing his excitement about this new chapter, Schwarz said, “I’m truly honored to take on this role. It’s a remarkable opportunity to continue the amazing journey we’ve embarked on at BetMGM, advancing our success in sports betting and iGaming.” He is eager to push the limits of innovation and reinforce BetMGM’s status as a market leader, largely thanks to the remarkably talented team. Schwarz’s expertise extends well beyond his previous role at BetMGM, promising a bright future for the company.

With over two decades of decision-making prowess across multiple industries, he's made a significant impact wherever he’s been. Before bringing his expertise to BetMGM, he spent more than seven years with Disney, where he played a pivotal role in the launch of the ESPN Brand. His six-year tenure at eBay was equally remarkable, and he successfully guided the startup Bloomspot to a victorious acquisition by JPMorgan Chase. BetMGM's CEO, Adam Greenblatt, couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about his appointment. Describing him as an indispensable asset to the BetMGM team, Greenblatt praised his unwavering leadership and strategic acumen. His deep understanding of our industry gives me every confidence that he will help us continue to provide outstanding products and experiences for our players.
