Rush Street Interactive has announced Brian Sapp's appointment to the newly created Chief Marketing Officer position. Sapp is expected to bring a wealth of experience and a track record in data-driven marketing and live operations within the mobile industry to his new role as CMO, the online casino and sports betting company said.

As part of the appointment, Sapp also joins Rush Street Interactive's executive leadership team reporting directly to Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer.

"As we continue to grow and expand across the Americas, a marketing leader with Brian’s unique blend of gaming and mobile experience, strategic insight, and creativity will be additive to the team as we shape the future of our brand and continue to innovate our customer-first experience,” said Richard Schwartz. “We are thrilled to welcome him aboard to lead our marketing strategy, team, and operations.”
