Strategic. Visionary. Responsible. Driven. These are prevailing characteristics in Michelle Carinci’s life and have earned her recognition among Atlantic Canada's Top 50 CEOs for 2003 and 2004. Michelle's leadership has also earned Atlantic Lottery recognition as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers in Maclean's news magazine annual survey.
Michelle has more than 30 years’ experience in leadership positions, including the Western Canada Lottery Foundation, the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and the U.S.-based GTECH Corporation.
With an extensive background in marketing and organizational development, Michelle has directed and managed several international conferences. She developed and facilitated educational programs for lottery management and played a key role in the development of the "Erewhon" case study. She was instrumental in the development of the first international lottery database, used by the NASPL. She has been active in various World Lottery Association (WLA), NASPL and Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC) industry committees and executives over the past two decades, including current roles as a member of the NASPL Education & Training Committee, and as chair of the WLA's Corporate Responsibility Committee.
Under Michelle's leadership, ALC has forged ahead in the development of new gaming opportunities and new delivery channels offered responsibly. PlaySphere, which allows Atlantic Canadians to purchase lottery tickets in a secure, geographically-controlled online environment, is an example of this forward thinking. Atlantic Lottery has adopted several stringent, industry-leading measures to ensure that PlaySphere maintains the corporation's commitment to, and reputation for, responsible play.
Long involved in her community, Michelle serves on the Board of Directors for the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, the Board of Directors for LearnSphere, the Board of Governors of the Canadian Unity Council, and the New Brunswick Board of Governors for Junior Achievement. Michelle is involved in the New Brunswick Peter Gzowski Invitational Golf Tournament for Literacy, serving as chair or co-chair since 2002.
