Billings will replace Stephen Cootey starting March 1, the Las Vegas operator said in a statement. Cootey, who held several Wynn financial positions since joining the company in 2014, resigned “to pursue other interests.”

Billings, who specializes in digital innovation, mergers and acquisitions and capital structure management, Billings has held leadership positions at Aristocrat Leisure Limited, including chief digital officer as well as managing director of strategy and business development, and at International Game Technology. He is also a director of Nyx Gaming Group. In 2012, Billings was the president of Zen Entertainment, which supplied Nevada online poker license applicant South Point Poker with its digital back end.

A certified public accountant, Billings was also an executive in the Investment Banking Division of Goldman Sachs, where he served numerous clients in the gaming industry, and he began his career in the audit practice of Deloitte & Touche. He received a Bachelors degree from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and a Masters of Business Administration from Columbia Business School.
