Robert Hoskins Leaves Entain After 18 Years

Entain announced that, after 18 years with the Group, Robert Hoskin is stepping down as Chief Governance Officer. He will leave the Board on June 30 and remain in role with the Group until 31 August 2023.

Robert has been with the Group since 2005, originally serving as Company Secretary and Group Director of Legal, Regulatory and Secretariat, before being promoted to his current role in October 2020, and joining the Board in 2021.  The Group has taken the decision to restructure certain responsibilities, in particular Regulatory Affairs given the strategic importance of regulation and our focus exclusively on regulated or regulating markets.  As a consequence of his stepping down, Robert’s other responsibilities will be taken on by Simon Zinger, who is currently Entain’s General Counsel.

Jette Nygaard-Andersen, CEO of Entain, commented:

“Robert was exceptionally supportive, welcoming and helpful to me when I joined the Board of Entain as a non-executive director in 2019.  I was therefore delighted that he agreed to remain in his role after my appointment as CEO, and I have benefitted hugely from his wisdom and counsel. He has played an instrumental role in making Entain the success story that it is today, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to him for everything that he has done for me personally and the Group more widely.”
