Betty appoints Jane Wang as general counsel

Betty has appointed Jane Wang as general counsel, recruiting the former leader of WeWork’s corporate legal team as the online casino business expands internationally. The appointment was confirmed in Betty’s own announcement, providing a primary source outside the EGR report.

Wang joins after 11 years at WeWork, where she progressed from counsel to vice president and led the corporate team. Betty said her experience included advising the board of a New York Stock Exchange-listed company and overseeing governance across hundreds of entities worldwide.

Her work encompassed U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting, mergers and acquisitions, and debt financing. Based in London and New York during her WeWork tenure, Wang handled corporate matters spanning multiple jurisdictions. Her previous position was leading corporate legal work, rather than serving as WeWork’s overall general counsel.

Cross-border experience supports legal team development

Before joining WeWork, Wang worked in Sullivan & Cromwell’s corporate practice in New York, having graduated from Harvard Law School. Betty said she would build a legal team supporting its brand and operations as the company develops its presence in additional markets. The announcement did not specify a separate future effective date.

Betty’s Canadian operations now span Ontario and Alberta. Its published company information identifies provincial licensing and operating arrangements in both markets, with the Alberta business added during 2026. The company describes its wider model as locally adapted casino operations supported by shared technology and operational resources.

The Alberta expansion also involved extending existing supplier relationships. Fennica Gaming confirmed in July that its games had launched with Betty during the opening week of Alberta’s regulated market, following their earlier collaboration. Wang’s appointment adds a senior legal executive after that expansion, with responsibility for developing Betty’s legal function as its international business grows
