A seasoned US media legal expert, Dodge joins DraftKings leadership team from telecommunications services provider DISH Networks where he serves as Group General Counsel.

As new CLO, Dodge will oversee the company’s Legal and Government Affairs teams based in the firm’s Boston headquarters, and report to DraftKings CEO and co-founder Jason Robins.

“Stanton brings to DraftKings a wealth of experience and expertise in legal and government affairs,” commented Robins on the appointment

“During his nearly two decades at DISH, he helped the company grow from a startup in a fledgling industry into a telecommunications giant.
