Entain CEO Gavin Isaacs stepped down from his role on Feb. 11, effective immediately.
Isaacs joined the group in September 2024 from Games Global in the U.S. Although Entain did not give a reason for the decision, an investor update said Isaacs’ departure was a “mutual” decision, and the board was pleased with the company’s performance in 2024.
Entain’s non-executive chair and previous interim CEO, Stella David, will resume the role while a permanent replacement for Isaacs is found.
Throughout his career, Isaacs has served as chair of Games Global and previously held board roles at DraftKings, Jackpocket and SBTech.
Upon joining Entain Isaacs was handed a basic annual salary of $1.1 million, and he was entitled to a long-term incentive plan equivalent to 450 percent of his basic salary.
His pay package also included a 6 percent pension allowance and relocation assistance to support his move from the U.S. to the U.K.
The company also provided a buy-out award to compensate for awards forfeited as Isaacs stepped down from Games Global chair to join Entain.
