About this update from Entain Plc
LADBROKES and Coral owner Entain has named Stella David as its permanent chief executive, effective immediately. David, who had twice served as interim CEO, steps into the role on a full-time basis as the company seeks to 'stabilise leadership and accelerate strategic growth'. Pierre Bouchut , interim chair of the global sports betting and gaming group, said David's appointment brings continuity at a time of major opportunity for the business. "Stella is an accomplished and commercial business leader with a long track record of success across multiple industries", Bouchut said. David first joined Entain's board as a non-executive director in March 2021 and briefly served as chair in April 2024 . She stepped in as interim CEO following the departure of Gavin Isaacs in February - her second temporary term after Jette Nygaard-Andersen's resignation in 2023. "Having taken the time to reflect, I am hugely excited to be leading the business going forward as Entain's CEO", she said. (c) 2025 City A.M., source Newspaper
