Most recently, NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. issued a statement confirming an imminent change in management. The iGaming operator revealed that its Chief Financial Officer, Jennifer Barber, will vacate the position effective December 1, 2023. After that, the company’s current Vice President, Finance and Compliance, Chin Dhushenthen, will assume the role of Interim CFO.
The firm offers iGaming via NorthStarbet.ca, which is a made-in-Ontario casino and sports betting platform providing a unique and premium local experience. It touts real-time news, stats, analysis and scores directly in the betting environment accompanied by popular iCasino games. The company also offers managed services to NorthStarBets.com owned by the Abenaki Council of Wolinak.
Thanking Ms. Barber for Her Contribution
Michael Moskowitz, Chair and CEO of the company thanked Ms. Barber for her contributions at an important time for the firm’s development. He explained that she had a crucial role in the operator’s public listing process, the Slapshot Media acquisition and the development of the financial reporting functions. He also wished her good luck as she joined a new sector.
Meanwhile, her successor Mr. Dhushenthen is a Chartered Professional Accountant boasting more than 25 years of executive experience in different sectors including finance, compliance, risk management, and technology. He joined the gaming firm in 2021 and has led the development of the compliance and regulatory function while being involved in the financial reporting process.
Before coming on board the gambling firm, Mr. Dhushenthen served for 13 years in financial leadership positions at CAPREIT, which is Canada’s largest publicly traded provider of quality rental housing. But that is not all, as his previous roles also include Hydrogenics Corporation, Azerty United Canada and The Hunter Group.
In addition to that, the company’s CEO, Mr. Moskowitz commented that the Board of the firm expects a seamless transition for Mr. Dhushenthen as the Interim Chief Financial Officer to the operator. The CEO also noted that the newly appointed CFO is also quite familiar with the company’s operations, after previously leading the finance team and creating the compliance system.

In October 2023, the gambling company made history as it became the first iGaming operator to integrate an Artificial Intelligence tool into its online gambling platform. The AI tool is set to provide customers with a daily selection of personalized sports wagers and it was developed by AI and Machine Language personalization software provider Epoxy.ai.
October saw another significant highlight for the made-in-Ontario sportsbook and casino platform, as the company announced that it will be expanding its services across Canada. Now players from the country can access its premium gaming offerings on NorthStarBets.com. Prior to the recent launch, the company was only online in Ontario’s regulated sector for internet gambling.
