Stella David and Vicky Jarman are to join the board of directors of Entain as of 4 March, as senior independent director Stephen Morana steps down from the role to pursue his executive career as chief financial officer of online car retailer Cazoo.
Stella David will become senior independent director and joins the Remuneration, Nomination, and Environmental, Social and Governance Committees. Vicky Jarman has been appointed an independent non-executive director and joins the Audit and Remuneration Committees.
David was previously the chief executive of William Grant & Sons Distillers, after more than 15 years working with Bacardi Ltd, culminating in five years spent as the brand’s global chief marketing officer.
A trans Black man who is a San Francisco Fire Department paramedic is suing the city, alleging he has been discriminated against on the basis of his race and gender identity, harassed, and retaliated against.
Ronnie Jones, 44, has worked for the SFFD since 2006. He came out as transgender in 2015, and things at work have not been the same since, according to his attorney, Angela Alioto, who spoke with the Bay Area Reporter February 11.
Alioto, a past president of the Board of Supervisors, is also representing gay firefighter Keith Baraka in his suit against the city, as the B.A.R. reported January 25. To Alioto, Jones discrimination case is part of the same pattern.
The Advocate reported Monday that he will serve as an advisor to British gaming company Entain.

The report comes just a couple of days after an ethics panel cleared Jones to take the job, provided he does not represent the company in the state. Louisiana’s ethics laws mandate that people who led agencies cannot represent a company seeking to do business with the same agency in the state for two years.
The issue came up for discussion at Friday’s state Board of Ethics meeting.
