Betfair Names CMO

Betfair has appointed Johnny Devitt to the position of chief marketing officer. Devitt formerly worked with Paddy Power.

Johnny Devitt is the new chief marketing officer for online betting service Betfair.

Devitt served as Betfair’s director of online marketing for the past year, but the position will now be merged between the online marketing and brand director roles, the company said in a press release. The merger follows the departure of Mark Ody as brand director.
