Fubo Gaming COO resigns after 10 months
Sam Rattner steps down from streaming service’s gaming division as he eyes start-up involvement
Fubo Gaming chief operating officer Sam Rattner has stepped down from his position after less than a year with the company.
Rattner assumed the role of COO of fuboTV’s sportsbook and gaming division when the streaming platform purchased Rattner’s sportsbook Vigtory.
Fubo Gaming, which has market-access agreements in multiple states including Arizona, Iowa and New Jersey, has planned on using the Vigtory platform to support its sports betting aspirations.
Rattner joined Fubo Gaming in March 2021, having founded Vigtory in 2018.
Posting on LinkedIn, Rattner revealed his passion for working with start-ups heavily influenced his decision to step down from his role.
Rattner said: “Helping scale a larger public company has been a great experience and very rewarding, but it can never replace the unwavering passion I have for building.
“While I’ve enjoyed my time as chief operating officer of fuboTV’s core growth unit, my passion for starting companies has weighed heavy on me.
“With that, fuboTV and I have mutually agreed to part ways. I have stepped down from Fubo Gaming’s board of directors and resigned as our chief operating officer. Fubo has accomplished a lot in the 10 months following their acquisition of Vigtory. I wish the company and my colleagues continued success,” he added.
