Flutter Entertainment has announced that following an extensive selection process the group has appointed Amy Howe as CEO of FanDuel.
Howe joined FanDuel in February 2021 as president with responsibility for leading the company's core commercial functions across its sportsbook, casino, racing and daily fantasy businesses. She was appointed interim CEO in July.
Prior to joining FanDuel, she was global COO of Ticketmaster, the largest division of Live Nation Entertainment. During her tenure, she led the transformation and modernisation of the company's ticketing platform, doubling its growth in gross ticketing value and growing its mobile app customer base by 400 per cent.
Peter Jackson, Flutter CEO, commented: "I am delighted to confirm the appointment of Amy as our new US CEO. Since joining the business at the start of this year she has done an excellent job of leading our commercial functions and ensuring that we execute well at this critical phase of growth for our business.
The expansion of the US market represents the single most exciting opportunity for Flutter today. Amy's track record of leadership and experience in scaling a digital business will be invaluable as we look to grow our leadership position there."
