The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has appointed Joseph Hillier as the agency’s new chief strategy officer and corporate secretary.
Hillier joins the AGCO from the Office of Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey, where he served as chief of staff since 2020.
He has also been a key strategic and legal advisor to the Minister and other government leaders on matters of policy and regulation in alcohol, gaming, cannabis, horse racing, and the establishment of Ontario’s first iGaming marketplace.
“Joseph’s deep experience and proven leadership skills will be tremendous assets to the AGCO,” said the regulator in a statement.
Hillier is the latest addition to the AGCO’s senior leadership team following the recent appointments of Brent McCurdy as chief legal officer and Karin Schnarr as CEO.
