Ladbrokes and Coral owner Entain has appointed Sheila Bangalore as a Non-Executive Director, just over three weeks after Ricky Sandler left the business.
The appointment of Bangalore brings Entain’s board back up to a team of 11 and follows Sandler’s departure as a Non-Executive Director after the closure of his New York-based hedge fund Eminence Capital.
Bangalore brings over two decades of experience in sectors including gaming, hospitality, and technology.
She also brings legal experience from her early career at the United States Courts and the U.S. Senate.
More recently, she served in roles at prominent global iGaming firms Bally Technologies and Aristocrat, before becoming Chief Strategy Officer at Las Vegas-headquartered manufacturing firm MP Materials.
According to her LinkedIn page, Bangalore is currently the Chief Executive Officer of advisory firm Artemis Endeavors, and has served on the boards of Games Global, Alliance Entertainment, Principal Mineral, Nasdaq, StoneAge Waterblast Tools, Athena Alliance and McLaren Technologies Acquisition Corporation.
“On behalf of the board, I am delighted to welcome Sheila to Entain,” said Pierre Bouchut, Chair of Entain.
“Sheila has a strong track record of executive and non-executive experience across multiple sectors, particularly in the gaming industry.
“I am confident that the board will benefit from Sheila’s judgement, rigour and breath of expertise as Entain continues to execute its strategy.”
