Entain is on the hunt for a new chief executive, with Shay Segev handing in his notice after less than a year in the role to become co-CEO of sports streaming platform Dazn.
Segev, the operator’s former chief operating officer who became CEO in July 2020 to replace Kenny Alexander, has a notice period of six months, and will remain in his current role for that period or until a successor is appointed.
Entain’s board noted that having considered succession issues on a regular basis, it has a process “well under way” to find his successor.
