NorthStar Gaming CFO to depart in December
Jennifer Barber to pursue other opportunities as she calls time on stint with operator after 18 months
NorthStar Gaming chief financial officer (CFO) Jennifer Barber will depart the operator after 18 months with the firm.
Barber will leave her post at the Canadian operator on December ! to pursue “another opportunity” outside of the sector.
She originally joined NorthStar in June 2022 after more than a decade with Canadian media company Torstar.
The operator confirmed Barber would be replaced in the interim by the company’s current VP of finance and compliance Chin Dhushenthen.
Dhushenthen joined NorthStar in September 2021 after more than 13 years in financial leadership roles at CAPREIT, Canada’s largest publicly traded provider of rental housing.
Michael Moskowitz, NorthStar Gaming CEO, took the opportunity to thank Barber for her efforts.
He said: “On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank Jennifer for her contributions at an important time in our company’s development.
“She played a key role in our public listing process, the Slapshot Media acquisition, and the establishment of our financial reporting functions. We wish Jennifer the best as she moves into a financial leadership role in a new sector.”
Touching on Dhushenthen’s appointment as interim CFO, Moskowitz continued: “We anticipate a seamless transition to Chin as interim CFO.
“He has great familiarity with our operations, having previously led our finance team and establishing our compliance system that meets the strict standards of our igaming licence.”
At the end of October, NorthStar secured a private placement financing of around C$10.3m which will be used to fund the company’s expansion across Canada.
