Bolz joins sportsbook operator as non-executive director following departure of Breon Corcoran
Paddy Power Betfair (PPB) has announced that former Tipico CEO Jan Bolz will join the firm as an independent non-executive director.
Bolz, who led German operator Tipico from 2011 through to its sale to CVC in 2016, will join PPB as of 6 September 2017.
Bolz has more than 25 years of senior management experience across marketing, sales and finance having previously worked in executive roles for Electronic Arts and Bertelsmann Music Group.

“He brings a wealth of global experience across different industry groups, most recently in sports betting where he led the very progressive development of Tipico to its successful sale in 2016.
“His background and experience will be of significant benefit to the Board.”
