Entain nets new CEO amid 41% Q4 online revenue rise
Jette Nygaard-Andersen takes over from Shay Segev as CFO Rob Wood is rewarded with deputy CEO position
Entain has chosen non-executive director Jette Nygaard-Andersen to succeed Shay Segev as CEO with immediate effect. Segev officially steps down as a director today (21 January) but will remain available to the board and management until 8 July, before starting his new role as co-CEO of streaming service DAZN. As part of the reshuffle, Entain CFO Rob Wood will have the role of deputy CEO added to his position, while COO Sandeep Tiku will be appointed to the board later in the year. Wood will now be responsible for all retail operations and M&A activities under the dual role of CFO and deputy CEO. Wood is highly regarded by the City and is fancied to become permanent CEO one day. Nygaard-Andersen had been hotly tipped to fill Segev’s shoes after having served on the Entain board as an independent non-executive director since December 2019. The Dane boasts more than two decades of experience in leadership roles in media and digital businesses, most prominently during a nine-year spell with Stockholm-listed Modern Times Group.
