Paddy Power Betfair appoints Dan Taylor as Europe CEO
Paddy Power Betfair has appointed Dan Taylor to the newly-created role of chief executive officer for Europe, and Barni Evans as CEO of its Australian operations, Sportsbet.
They will both report to the group CEO, Peter Jackson.
Taylor, who was previously managing director of the company's UK & Ireland operations, will be responsible for the Paddy Power and Betfair brands across all channels and geographies outside of the USA.
Meanwhile, Evans will take over from Cormac Barry, who has led the Sportsbet business since it was acquired in 2009, as he has decided to step down to pursue a career outside of the industry.
Paddy Power said Barni has played a key role in Sportsbet's success over the last seven years and is ideally qualified to lead the business. He is currently Sportsbet's chief commercial officer, having joined the business as chief marketing officer in 2011.
Before that, he was director of marketing at Paddy Power and has been with the company since 2001. Cormac will work closely with Barni and the rest of the Sportsbet leadership team over the next few months to ensure an orderly transition.
