Entain has appointed Andrew Vouris as permanent CEO of Entain Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) after serving as interim CEO since June.
Vouris took over as interim CEO from Dean Shannon, guiding the business through a period of transition with a focus on the company’s people, customers and compliance.
“Andrew stood out as the right leader for Entain ANZ,” said Entain group CEO Stella David. “His leadership as Interim CEO has demonstrated his commitment to our people, our partners, and to building a sustainable, compliance-led and customer-focused culture.
“Andrew has made great progress since he arrived at Entain, and I am very much looking forward to continuing working with him.”
Commenting on his permanent appointment, Vouris said: “I am grateful for this opportunity, and the responsibility that I have been given. My priority is to embed a ‘win, but not at all costs culture’ and get back to the basics of selling bets. I will also be focusing on leading innovation in our sector while protecting our customers.
“I am excited about the future of our business and while there is still much more to do, we are well positioned for growth.”
