New leadership at FanDuel as Dan Taylor assumes newly created role of president of Flutter Entertainment
Flutter Entertainment has announced new leadership at FanDuel, with chief executive Amy Howe departing after more than five years in the role.
FanDuel president Christian Genetski will assume responsibility for leading the FanDuel business, having been with the company for more than 11 years, including as president since July 2022. He was recognised in the Gaming Intelligence Hot 50 of 2020 when serving as FanDuel’s chief commercial officer.
Genetski takes over from Howe, who has served as CEO of FanDuel since February 2021, earning her recognition in the Gaming Intelligence Hot 50 of 2025.
“It has been a privilege to lead FanDuel over the past five years,” said Howe. “I’m incredibly proud of the business we’ve built and the talented team behind it, as well as the entertainment experiences we deliver to our customers every day. Together, we have established a clear leadership position in the market, strengthened our product and brand, and built strong foundations for future growth.
“With the business well positioned for what comes next, I believe this is the right moment to hand over to new leadership to build on that progress and capture the opportunities ahead. I leave with great confidence in the team and the future of FanDuel and I look forward to seeing its continued success.”
The management shake up will also see Dan Taylor, CEO of Flutter’s International division, take on the newly created role of president of Flutter Entertainment alongside his existing duties.
Taylor has been with the group for over a decade, during which time he was recognised in the Gaming Intelligence Hot 50 of 2021, and will be responsible for the commercial delivery of Flutter’s global brand portfolio.
“With significant growth potential ahead, we have decided this is the right moment for new leadership at FanDuel,” said Flutter CEO Peter Jackson. “I would like to thank Amy for her contribution to Flutter and FanDuel and recognize the impact she has had on the business since joining in 2021. During this time, FanDuel has experienced periods of strong performance alongside meaningful change and transformation. We wish her every success for the future.
“I’m delighted that Christian will lead the business. He has a strong track record at FanDuel and deep market knowledge, and we are confident he will build momentum and continue strengthening FanDuel’s position as the leading online sportsbook and iGaming operator in the US. He will work closely with Dan, who brings extensive global industry and commercial expertise to his new role. We remain focused on delivering Flutter’s strategy and converting our scale, technology and customer offering into sustained, profitable growth.”
