CEO of Ladbrokes owner Entain steps down after five months in role Company will be run on an interim basis by the chair, Stella David, after exit of Gavin Isaacs.
The sports betting and gambling company will be run again on an interim basis by Stella David, the chair, until a permanent chief executive is found.
Isaacs, 60, an Australian lawyer with 25 years of experience across the global sports betting, gaming and lottery industries, had come out of semi-retirement and relocated from Las Vegas to run the FTSE 100-listed company in September.
This means that David, on an interim basis, is one of a small group of female chief executives at FTSE 100 companies, of which only 10 are run by a woman.
The chief executive of Entain has left the business in a surprise move just five months after joining the owner of bookmakers Ladbrokes and Coral.
