The new non-executive director brings significant experience
Bomhard is currently at the helm of Imperial Brands plc, the world’s fourth-largest tobacco giant, serving as both Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director. Yet, as he prepares to join the Board at Flutter, he will be stepping down as CEO of Imperial Brands on September 30, 2025. His tenure as Executive Director will conclude on December 31, 2025. Even with these changes, Bomhard will continue to contribute his expertise as a non-executive director at Compass Group plc.

His impressive resume includes high-level roles at Procter & Gamble, Unilever Food Solutions Europe, Diageo plc (Burger King), and Bacardi Limited, among others.
