Entain confirms non-executive board departure

Entain has confirmed non-executive director Peter Isola has stepped down from his position on the FTSE 100 operator’s board of directors.

Isola officially left his role on 21 March after six years at Entain.

A veteran of the legal sector, Isola joined the company’s board in February 2016 having served as a director at Gibraltar International Bank, Hercules Fund, BetVictor and Callaghan Insurance Brokers.

Isola was first admitted to the Bar of England and Wales as well as its Gibraltar-based equivalent in 1982.

During his time as non-executive director of Entain, Isola served on a number of the operator’s governance committees including audit, remuneration and environmental, social and governance (ESG) committee.

Entain chairman Barry Gibson paid tribute to the role that Isola had played on Entain’s board of directors during his tenure as a non-executive director.

“On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Peter for his significant contribution and commitment to Entain over the last six years. We wish him well for the future,” Gibson added.

In February, Entain announced a raft of changes to its board, with Stephen Morana stepping down as senior independent director to concentrate on his executive role at online car retail giant Cazoo, while Stella David and Vicky Jarman were appointed as a non-executive director and independent director respectively.
