Entain Announces New CEO

Online gambling giant, Entain, has today confirmed the appointment of Jette Nygaard-Andersen as its new chief executive. Her appointment is to start with immediate effect as Nygaar-Andersen replaces Shay Segev. Shay Segev announced his resignation last week, confirming his new position as co-CEO of sports streaming platform, Dazn. 

“I am very excited to have the opportunity of continuing the extraordinary momentum that Entain has in its existing markets, as well as helping it enter new regulated markets and reach new audiences,” Nygaard-Andersen said. 

“I am deeply wedded to Entain’s commitment to providing industry-leading levels of player protection, and to its philosophy that the most sustainable business in our industry will be the most successful business in our industry.” 

Entain chairman Barry Gibson added:  

“We are extremely fortunate to have such an outstanding candidate and readymade CEO in Jette. 

“She is already deeply immersed in Entain’s strategy, and clearly shares our ambition to be the world leader in sports betting and gaming entertainment.”
