LUCERNE, Switzerland, 2 June, 2026 — Allwyn AG (“Allwyn”) is pleased to announce that Khalid Reede Jones has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Allwyn North America.

Khalid brings a rare combination of commercial discipline, regulatory credibility and digital‑first thinking. This is built through over two decades of experience and senior executive roles spanning lottery, gaming enforcement, licensing and private investment.

Khalid has a proven and impressive track record of creating value in highly regulated environments, navigating multi‑stakeholder systems, and turning strategy into measurable outcomes. Most recently, he served as Executive Director of the Virginia Lottery.

He will now focus on the future growth of Allwyn North America, delivering excellence as the operating partner of the Illinois Lottery and as a technology and games provider to North American lottery customers, as well as expanding Allwyn’s footprint across the lottery sector in the U.S. This role does not extend to Allwyn majority owned fantasy sports operator, PrizePicks.

Robert Chvátal, CEO, Allwyn said: “I’m pleased to share that Khalid Reede Jones will be joining us as CEO of Allwyn North America. Khalid brings a rare mix of regulatory insight, commercial experience and a genuine commitment to responsible growth. A digitally minded leader who understands the power of partnerships and innovation - I know his perspective and energy will be hugely valuable to our North American business.”
