Paddy Power Betfair plc (the "Group")
Management appointments
The Group announces the appointment of Dan Taylor as CEO of
Europe and Barni Evans as CEO of Sportsbet, the Group's operations
in Australia. Both positions will report to the Group Chief
Executive Officer, Peter Jackson.
In the newly created role, Dan will be responsible for the Paddy
Power and Betfair brands across all channels and geographies
outside of the USA. Dan was previously Managing Director of the
Group's UK & Ireland operations and before that was Managing
Director of Paddy Power Retail.
Cormac Barry, who has successfully led the Sportsbet business
since it was acquired in 2009, has decided to step down to pursue a
career outside of the industry. Barni has played a key role in
Sportsbet's success over the last seven years and is ideally
qualified to lead the business. He is currently Sportsbet's Chief
Commercial Officer, having joined the business as Chief Marketing
Officer in 2011. Prior to that, Barni was Director of Marketing at
Paddy Power and has been with the Group since 2001. Cormac will
work closely with Barni and the rest of the Sportsbet leadership
team over the next few months to ensure an orderly transition.
The Board would like to thank Cormac for his valuable
contribution to the Group and wish him every success in his future
career.
