Kindbridge adds former Colorado Division of Gaming director to board
Mental health service provider taps Dan Hartman to provide strategic insight and expertize to shape future strategy
Kindbridge Behavioral Health has added former director of gaming for the Colorado Division of Gaming, Dan Hartman, to the group’s advisory board.
Hartman will link up with the mental health service provider to provide insight into how best to deliver support for those suffering from gambling-related harms.
Kindbridge said Hartman’s appointment means the firm is now “poised to further expand its impact and empower individuals to prioritize their mental wellbeing.”
Currently an associate partner at GMA Consulting, Hartman spent more than 31 years working within the State of Colorado across racing, medical marijuana, and gaming.
He served as director of gaming for the Colorado Division of Gaming between August 2019 and May 2023, having spent the previous eight years heading up the Division of Racing Events.
Colorado launched online and retail sports betting in May 2020, with voters having approved the proposition to legalize the vertical in 2019.
Hartman said: “I am honored to join Kindbridge’s advisory board and contribute to its groundbreaking work in mental healthcare.
“Mental wellness is a critical component of overall health, and I am excited to collaborate with Kindbridge to drive meaningful change in how we approach and deliver mental healthcare services.”
Daniel Umfleet, Kindbridge CEO, added: “[Hartman’s] extensive experience in regulatory enforcement and public service, coupled with a track record of fostering industry growth and innovation, make him an invaluable addition to our team.
“We look forward to leveraging Dan’s expertize to enhance our mission of making high-quality mental healthcare accessible to all.”
Kindbridge has partnered with a series of operators in recent months, signing agreements with DraftKings and FanDuel in March.
