The company reported that starting on January 2, 2019, Gordon Wilson will be part of the Board of Directors.
UK.- William Hill announced this week the appointment of Gordon Wilson, President and CEO of Travelport Worldwide Limited, to its Board of Directors as an independent Non-Executive Director with effect from January 2, 2019.
Gordon has been the CEO of Travelport since 2011 and led the company through its successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) in New York in 2014. While headquartered in the United Kingdom, the business generates about one-third of its activity in each of the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific.
Roger Devlin, Chairman of William Hill PLC, commented: “Gordon brings extensive experience of the development and use of proprietary technology and data at scale on a global basis. This, alongside his knowledge of the US market in particular, brings great value to William Hill given our strategic priorities and focus on capturing the opportunity provided by sports betting regulation in the US.”
“It is a fascinating time to join the Board of William Hill and I look forward to bringing my experience to the table to play a part in the ongoing growth of the business,” said Wilson, who will become a member of the Board’s Corporate Responsibility, and Nomination Committees.
