Entain Bolsters Board with Appointment of Amanda Brown Amidst Regulatory Scrutiny

A global sports wagering and entertainment corporation, Entain, is strengthening its governing body by designating Amanda Brown as an autonomous non-executive board member. Commencing on November 8th, 2023, Ms. Brown will also integrate into the company’s Compensation Committee.

Ms. Brown possesses a wealth of knowledge in human capital management from her period as Chief Personnel Officer at Hiscox Insurance, where she held a crucial role within the senior leadership group. Her vast board involvement encompasses positions such as Lead Independent Director and Compensation Committee Head at Mitchells & Butlers plc. Presently, she occupies comparable roles at Manchester Airports Group.

This tactical placement arises at a critical juncture for Entain as they gear up to disclose their third-quarter outcomes subsequent to a robust initial half of 2023, which witnessed a 14% surge in net gaming income.

Barry Gibson, Entain’s Chairman, extended a warm greeting to Ms. Brown, emphasizing her global business acumen and board proficiency as valuable contributions to the company’s strategic course.

This declaration trails a phase of stock instability for Entain in late September.

Regulatory strain has caused its worth to plunge by more than 30% since the same period last year.
