Tom Napolitano: Sr. Manager, Product Innovation
Tom is the guy who always has the newest gadgets or the hottest electronics. As soon as they hit the stores he owns them. The kicker is that he actually understands how they were built, comprehends all that they can do, and most importantly knows how we can use them to create new, electrifying apps or games. As the Sr. Manager of Product Innovation, it’s Tom’s job to bring the most recent technological advancements and the most exciting innovations to GPC’s portfolio. From conceptualization, to development & implementation, he’s charged with expanding our offerings specific to game mechanics, specialized printing techniques, internet promotions, and enhanced security features. Tom got his start with GTECH in 1994 with the technology group as a programmer and then a technology architect. About 4 years ago he ended up in the wrong meeting at the right time and left finding himself thrown into the world of marketing. A native New Yorker, Tom has spent a lot of his free time traveling the world – often times on cruise ships. He’s been on every cruise line, twice. He’s traveled every itinerary, exhausted every excursion, seen every theatrical performance, danced in every club, and he’s even sung in the piano bars. Tom is single-handedly helping us cruise our way to finding the next great lottery innovation.
