Carmanah Signs Announces Leadership Transition

 

Carmanah Signs announces that Cameron Waldie, its long-serving President and CEO, is stepping down as part of a planned leadership transition. He will stay on in an advisory role through Q1 2026.

“Serving the Lottery Industry alongside the Carmanah team has been a privilege and a joy,” said Cameron Waldie. “We’ve grown from a small LED sign company to a global Lottery MarTech provider. A grateful thanks to all our customers, my wonderful team and our industry colleagues.”

Cameron Waldie, outgoing President & CEO, reflects on two decades of leadership at Carmanah Signs.

Cameron joined Carmanah Signs as General Manager in 2005, assuming the role of President and CEO in 2009. Under his leadership, Carmanah pioneered Wirelessly Updated Jackpot Signs and became the market share leader in the segment. 

In 2013, Cameron championed the acquisition of Carmanah by STRATACACHE, the global leader in digital signage, and the rest is history. Cameron blazed a trail of lottery retail modernization, bringing cutting edge marketing technologies to lotteries worldwide. He built a remarkable team, created a legacy of exceptional customer service, and made many lifelong friends along the way.

"Carmanah’s partnership with STRATACACHE has been an extraordinary leap into the future of retail media. Collaborating with Chris Riegel, STRATACACHE’s founder and a leader in emerging technologies, has been an incredible journey,” said Cameron Waldie.

Carmanah is pleased to announce that Jon-Paul Bussoli has been appointed President and CEO, ensuring a seamless transition with continued dedication to the success of Carmanah’s lottery customers.
