Shannon DeHaven
With over a decade of iLottery and digital engagement experience, Shannon is considered a trailblazer and thought leader in the lottery space. Since joining the organization in 2021, Shannon has led Pollard Banknote’s Digital Engagement team, overseeing a range of digital solutions and serving as a strategic advisor and partner to lotteries around the world as they navigate the digital sphere. Shannon has also played an instrumental role in the launch of the Pollard Digital Solutions brand, which includes our eInstants Game Studio. Shannon draws on her considerable experience with the Michigan Lottery, where she led the Lottery’s digital programs, including iLottery strategy and operations. Michigan became the first state to prove the viability of the iLottery channel to generate incremental revenue for good causes, and ultimately set the industry standard by which iLottery success is measured in North America.
“On behalf of Pollard Banknote, I congratulate Shannon on this well-deserved acknowledgement by Gaming Intelligence,” said Doug Pollard, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “Shannon’s knowledge and passion for this industry, and for digital engagement, in particular, is always evident. Our lottery clients value her expertise and guidance across all facets of the digital journey.”
