Amanda Brown is slated to become a member of Entain, a prominent entity in the online wagering and gaming industry. Assuming the role of an independent non-executive director, she will also contribute to their remuneration committee effective November 8th, 2023.
Brown possesses a robust background in executive management. She held a senior leadership role at the insurance firm Hiscox and presently occupies comparable positions at Mitchells & Butlers and Manchester Airports Group, specializing in executive compensation. Her professional trajectory also encompasses a tenure at Micro Focus International.
Entain’s Chairman, Barry Gibson, expressed evident satisfaction in welcoming her, emphasizing her global business acumen and stating that she will be a valuable addition to the board.
This announcement follows closely on the heels of Entain’s third-quarter performance figures and a positive initial six months of 2023, during which they witnessed a 14% surge in earnings. Notably, despite this favorable news, their shares experienced a slight decline recently.
Its worth has drastically decreased, falling over 30% since the previous year. This sharp decline is primarily due to obstacles imposed by governing bodies.
