DeLucia Worked in Several Financial and Accounting Roles Prior to SharpLink

SharpLink Gaming, which is a sports betting affiliate marketing and technology company focused on the US sports betting market, has come out and announced that it has chosen Robert DeLucia, CPA as its new and latest chief financial officer (CFO).

DeLucia will be taking on the role previously held by former chief financial officer (CFO) Brian Bennet. SharpLink also revealed that Bennett has chosen to leave the company to pursue fresh career opportunities.

Before he arrived at SharpLink, DeLucia served in a number of financial and accounting positions, featuring time spent as chief accounting officer at the internet service supplier GTT Communications, interim CFO of Neon Logistics and Controller of Eastern Airlines.

For those still unfamiliar with SharpLink: the company was founded in 2019 with the main purpose of furnishing sports betting technology and affiliate marketing services. SharpLink works closely together with a selection of premier sports league operators, including the likes of NASCAR, the National Hockey League (NHL), and the PGA Tour.

And as recently as January 2022, SharpLink entered into an agreement in which it bought $8.2 million worth of assets from igaming affiliate business FourCubed, including the company’s international igaming affiliate marketing business.

SharpLink Co-Founder Praises DeLucia’s Extensive Experience

On the occasion of Robert DeLucia taking on the new role of CFO at sports betting technology and affiliate marketing service company SharpLink, Rob Phythian, the company’s co-founder and CEO, highlighted DeLucia’s extensive experience in particular:

“Bob is a proven CFO with a superior track record of delivering results and creating value for a wide range of public and private companies spanning a range of global industries.”Rob Phythian, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), SharpLink Gaming, Press Release

Phythian went onto: single out DeLucia’s specific skills, all of which will combine to make him an effective financial leader at the company:

“We believe he is a high impact executive who brings us a compelling blend of strategic and capital management discipline, well-honed operating skills in high growth environments and deep expertise in mergers and acquisitions, capital formation, audit oversight and implementations, and SEC reporting and compliance.”

The current form of SharpLink in terms of a corporate entity comes as a result of a 2021 reverse merger between Mer Telemanagement Solutions (MTS) and SharpLink. The merger resulted in SharpLink being allowed to publicly list its shares on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

In closing, Phythian welcomed DeLucia to the SharpLink family and expressed hope about the future of working closely together:

“We are delighted to welcome Bob to the SharpLink leadership team and really look forward to working in close collaboration with him to move SharpLink through its next phase of exciting growth.”
