Boom Entertainment announced today that Zack Messer has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Mr. Messer will work directly with the leadership team to elevate the company’s financial performance as more states welcome online gambling and daily fantasy sports.

Boom is poised to capitalize on the continued iGaming growth and redefine gaming in North America by launching casino and sports betting product divisions in 2022. Boom recently raised $15M in capital from high-profile investors.

“The growth opportunities at Boom are unprecedented and it’s the right time to bring in a seasoned financial strategist,” said Stephen A. Murphy, co-founder and CEO of Boom Entertainment.  

“Zack fits the CFO role perfectly, having spent 14 years in gaming and holding a variety of strategic finance roles at IGT, Pinnacle Entertainment and most recently Scientific Games as its head of finance for Gaming Operations. He has also been involved in various M&A deals, ranging from tuck-ins to multi-billion dollar acquisitions, and that experience will be invaluable as well,” said Mr. Murphy.

“It’s clear that Steve has created a strong culture at Boom with a compelling growth trajectory,” said Mr. Messer. “I’ve been privileged to work at several industry leaders ranging from suppliers to operators, land-based to online, real-wager to social. I look forward to adding my expertise to the talented group of team members at Boom as we take on the next phase of growth for the company.”
