Tabcorp Holdings has made a series of changes to its executive leadership team including increased wagering and media capability.
A position of chief wagering officer has been created to “bring together the core wagering functions of digital, retail, trading, marketing and product, including Tote innovation.”
A search process for the chief wagering officer role is well advanced and appointment is expected to be announced in the new year.
In conjunction, a chief commercial and media officer role has also been created to deliver stronger commercial outcomes and maximise the value of the company’s assets across domestic and international media (Sky Racing) and its retail footprint. Jarrod Villani has been appointed chief commercial and media officer.
In addition, Narelle McKenzie has been appointed chief legal officer, and Robert Fraser has been appointed chief technology and transformation officer. All appointments are subject to relevant regulatory approvals.
As part of these changes, the chief customer officer, Jenni Barnett, and chief information officer, Alan Sharvin, will be leaving the business.
“The changes to our structure will increase our wagering capability and drive growth across both wagering and media,” said managing director and CEO Elect, Gillon McLachlan. “It allows one executive to control the key wagering assets within our ecosystem. It’s a simpler model that brings our wagering team together to drive first class execution.”
In addition, Justin Milne is due to retire from the Tabcorp board on December 31, 2024. Milne has been a non-executive director since 2011. During his tenure he served on several board committees, including most recently as chairman of the technology committee.
