Entain plc, a leading FTSE100 company and one of the largest groups in the betting and gaming industry, has announced the appointment of its new permanent Chief Executive Officer (CEO). On Tuesday, the company confirmed that Stella David, who had been serving as interim CEO, has been named to the position on a permanent basis, effective immediately.
Interim CEO appointed on a permanent basis
In February, Entain announced that its CEO, Gavin Isaacs, resigned after just five months in the position. Before Isaacs' tenure, the previous CEO, Jette Nygaard-Andersen, also resigned due to increased investor pressure and disappointing financial results. Entain had spent nearly a year searching for a new CEO before appointing Isaacs, so his departure meant the search had to begin again. Following Isaacs' resignation in February, David was named interim CEO. Recently, it was announced that she will now take on the role permanently, concluding Entain’s search for new leadership.
