Ladbrokes Owner Entain Names Industry Veteran Isaacs As CEO
British sports betting company Entain Plc has appointed Gavin Isaacs as chief executive officer, replacing interim CEO Stella David, who took over in December following pressure from activists.
Isaacs, who takes over on Sept. 2, brings more than 25 years of experience in the betting, lottery and gaming industries and is currently a non-executive director of casino-style games development company Games Global Ltd., the company said in a statement on Monday. The Australian executive previously held leadership roles at gambling tech firm Bally Technologies and and lottery company Scientific Games Corporation.
