OKLAHOMA CITY, August 13, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Brett Henderson has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Marked by more than 15 years of experience and exemplary leadership, Mr. Henderson is an established expert in product portfolio management, slot machine content development, gaming product commercialization and marketing strategies. Currently serving as the director of product portfolio at Valicy — a Greenville, North Carolina-based creator of hardware and software for casino partners — he is responsible for creating content with studio and development teams, staying informed on evolving player preferences, collaborating with sales teams on product launches and implementing strategic customer approaches. His efforts are vital in ensuring that each game release achieves its revenue targets and aligns with the company's broader objectives.

Though his career in product management and marketing counts many highlights, Mr. Henderson considers his recruitment to Valicy as a director during the company's pivot into the casino market as one of his most significant achievements. He views this opportunity as a validation of his expertise and accomplishments in the gaming industry, particularly following his impactful tenure at Aristocrat Gaming.

Mr. Henderson is also renowned for his 12-year tenure at Aristocrat Gaming in Las Vegas, Nevada. In his final position as the senior manager of game sales, he played a pivotal role on the commercial team that achieved record-breaking sales of slot machines — the highest in company history. This accomplishment stands out as a major career milestone for him and represents the culmination of his many years of dedication and professional development at Aristocrat.

From 2020 to 2023, Mr. Henderson held the position of commercialization manager at Aristocrat, where he managed the launch and market introduction of new gaming products and devised commercial strategy plans. As a regional product manager from 2019 to 2020, he focused on specific market needs and identified new opportunities for product optimization.

Mr. Henderson's earlier roles at Aristocrat include serving as a product marketing specialist for mechanical reels from 2017 to 2019, during which he developed targeted marketing campaigns and formulated sales enablement strategies for detailed product lines. He also excelled as a regional marketing specialist for two years, supporting sales teams with marketing materials and strategies tailored to diverse markets. He began his tenure at Aristocrat in 2013 as a product specialist for global marketing, contributing to feature specification documents, newsletter publishing and new product demonstrations.

Before entering the gaming industry, Mr. Henderson worked as the director of marketing and media for student activities at Drury University in Springfield, Missouri, where he managed campus-wide events and communications strategies while also completing his higher education. He gained further experience as a marketing intern with Oklahoma State University Athletics from 2011 to 2012, during which he supported athletic department promotions and outreach efforts.

Alongside his primary roles, Mr. Henderson has been an active member of industry-related organizations including Young Business Professionals of Las Vegas, which has provided him with valuable networking opportunities within the business and marketing communities.

Hailing from an equally accomplished academic background, Mr. Henderson earned a Master of Arts in mass communication with a focus on media studies from Drury University in 2012 as well as a bachelor's degree in marketing from Oklahoma State University in 2011. Along with his education, he attributes his success to confidence in his ability to learn quickly and solve challenges — even when he initially lacks specific knowledge or skills. This mindset has enabled him to take on projects outside his immediate expertise while acquiring necessary knowledge along the way. He also credits his curiosity for knowledge as a driving force that keeps him motivated and engaged professionally.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Mr. Henderson has long been known for his contributions to civic and community service initiatives. He served as a volunteer with Project 150 in 2015, helping to plan a special prom event for children from homeless families to enjoy, and has additionally aided children in need through work with organizations like Three Square, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America.

Determined to further his impact in the coming years, Mr. Henderson plans to aggressively grow Valicy's operations and reach while advancing professionally into a vice president role focused on product development and studio operations within the organization. His primary focus is on delivering an exceptional product portfolio to enhance the customer experience while working closely with studios on development strategies as the company expands its team and profitability.
