Entain names two new directors to its board
The London-listed gambling operator has named Michael Goldberg and Edmond Mesrobian as independent non-executive directors.
UK.- FTSE-listed Entain has named two new directors to its board. Michael Goldberg and Edmond Mesrobian join the company as independent non-executive directors.
Goldberg, who previously worked at Elliott Management and Corvex Management, will become a member of the Capital Allocation Committee. Meanwhile, Mesrobian has held CTO roles at Nordstrom, Tesco and Expedia and currently serves as an independent non-executive director on the board of Criteo. He will serve on Entain’s Sustainability & Compliance Committee.
The appointments come three weeks after Entain, whose brands include Ladbrokes and Coral, announced that Stella David would become its permanent new CEO. David had been serving in the position on an interim basis for the second time since the surprise announcement of Gavin Isaacs’ resignation in February after just five months in the position.
David previously served as interim CEO between the departure of Jette Nygaard-Andersen in December 2023 and the arrival of Isaacs on September 2 2024.
Entain interim chair Pierre Bouchut said: “On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Michael and Edmond to Entain. Michael is a high calibre individual with deep knowledge of the sports and gaming industry as well as having a proven track record in investment management and creating shareholder value. Edmond brings extensive product and technology experience, particularly in executing transformational strategies, driving growth and innovation.
“I am confident that their appointments will add significant value to the Board, complementing our existing dynamics and further enhancing the Board’s ability to deliver growth and the execution of our strategy.”
