PENN Entertainment eliminates EVP Operations role in corporate restructuring

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 restructuring Written later

On January 5, 2026, PENN Entertainment announced a new corporate organizational structure, eliminating the Executive Vice President, Operations role held by Todd George and the Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer role held by Rich Primus. The company said the changes are intended to achieve greater operational efficiencies and improved free cash flow, and it will provide anticipated annualized cost savings when it reports fourth quarter 2025 results in February 2026.

Key points

  • The new structure took effect immediately on January 5, 2026, and realigns Interactive around PENN's Canadian digital assets and Hollywood iCasino product.
  • Todd George departed under a separation agreement dated January 8, 2026, and will serve as an advisor for transition services until February 28, 2026; his 2023 performance units remain outstanding under their terms.
  • Rich Primus, Senior Vice President and CIO, is stepping down; Aaron LaBerge will take on enterprise IT functions in addition to his current role.
  • PENN has begun a search for a digital Chief Operating Officer to oversee day-to-day Interactive segment operations.
