Flutter announces Group CFO transition
-- Jonathan Hill to establish new Group COO function to support global growth strategy
-- Paul Edgecliffe-Johnson to join as Group CFO from IHG in the first half of 2023
Flutter Entertainment plc, the leading global sports betting and
gaming operator, announced today that Group CFO, Jonathan Hill,
will establish a new Group COO function next year to maximise the
benefits of Flutter's global scale and support the strategic
direction of the business. Paul Edgecliffe-Johnson, currently Chief
Financial Officer and Group Head of Strategy at InterContinental
Hotels Group plc ("IHG"), will join as CFO and Executive Director
of the Group in the first half of 2023.
Jonathan will continue in his role until Paul starts, working
together to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.
Jonathan will then leave the Board and take up the newly created
Executive Committee role of Group Chief Operating Officer ("COO").
Given Jonathan's expertise, knowledge of the business and role in
shaping Flutter's strategy, he is uniquely placed to set up the new
Group COO function for success.
Paul brings 25 years' experience in finance and international
businesses, and has been CFO, Group Head of Strategy and member of
the Board and Executive Committee at IHG since 2014. Prior to
joining IHG in 2004, Paul was an Associate Director, Corporate
Finance at HSBC.
Commenting on the appointment, CEO Peter Jackson said: "I am
delighted that Paul will join us next year as Group CFO. I am
confident that his highly relevant skills and experience will help
us to take advantage of the significant opportunities before us and
will be invaluable as we continue to execute our strategy. I also
wish to acknowledge Jonathan for all he has done for Flutter to
date and I am very pleased that the Group will continue to benefit
from his experience in establishing the new COO function."
Gary McGann, Chair, commented: " The Board welcomes the
appointment of a quality executive such as Paul and looks forward
to working with him and the team into the future, and I look
forward to continuing to work with Jonathan in his new role."
