This newly created role aims to support Light & Wonder’s strategic engagement during a key phase of transformation.

The announcement coincides with Light & Wonder’s move to a primary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Chief Financial Officer Oliver Chow highlighted Gallagher’s appointment as pivotal for enhancing the company’s presence both domestically and internationally.

Before joining, he served as Managing Director at Jarden Group’s Institutional Equities division, where he led sales, research, and corporate advisory services.
Light & Wonder’s Continued Growth and Market Expansion
This leadership addition comes during an active period for the company. Recently, Light & Wonder received accreditation from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), enabling it to launch its iGaming platform in the Philippines — its first regulated market in Asia and the 47th worldwide.
In another strategic move, the company secured licensing in the United Arab Emirates, becoming one of the first B2B providers authorized to offer land-based electronic gaming machines, table games, and digital casino content. This license marks a major step for reaching new audiences while emphasizing compliance and responsible gaming.
With Rohan Gallagher joining the leadership, Light & Wonder aims to sharpen its communication with stakeholders as it prepares for further expansion into global regulated markets. His role reinforces the company’s commitment to transparency, investor confidence, and long-term value creation.
