The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is promoting a member to its executive team.

The AGCO has announced the promotion of Lucie Walker to Chief Human Resources Officer after previously serving as the commission’s Director of Human Resources and Organizational Development. Walker, who joined the AGCO in 2022, has been integral in driving key initiatives for the commission. She has spearheaded the creation of cultural services and programs, including the AGCO’s Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Office.

Walker joined the AGCO after spending two years at Southlake Regional Health Centre where she served as a Director of Human Resources and Director of Employee and Labour Relations. She also spent time at the Canadian Institute of Health Information.

AGCO makes personnel moves

The promotion of Walker adds to a series of recent organizational changes for the AGCO.

In July, the commission reappointed Dave Forestell as Chair of its board of directors. Forestell, a member of the AGCO’s board for six years, was reappointed for a three-year term. He took over for the previous incumbent Lalit Aggarwal, who recently resigned.

The AGCO also added Alan Gertner as a Director for a two-year term. Gertner assumed his new role with previous experience in gaming as a former Vice Chair at iGaming Ontario.
