Leadership Changes at Entain Australia and New Zealand
Entain Australia and New Zealand will see two senior executives depart in March, with Chief Financial Officer Lachlan Fitt and New Zealand Managing Director Cameron Rodger set to leave the company.
Senior Executives Departing in March
Entain Australia CEO Dean Shannon confirmed that Fitt and Rodger will step down on March 8, acknowledging their contributions to the company.
“We are sad to say goodbye to two members of our Executive team who have provided many years of fantastic service and friendship,”
– Shannon stated, adding that the company supports their next career moves.
Lachlan Fitt Reflects on His Tenure
Fitt, who has over a decade of experience in international wagering, said the decision to leave came at the right time.
“I am proud of the transformation of Entain’s wagering and media business in New Zealand – there is still more to do, but it is in great shape,”
– Fitt said. While he has not yet announced his next move, he hinted at opportunities within racing and bloodstock.
Recent Leadership Shifts at Entain
The exits of Fitt and Rodger follow another notable departure—Andy Hoad, General Manager of Group Content & Broadcast, who is joining Racing Victoria as Executive General Manager of Media, Content, and Marketing.
In addition to leadership changes, Entain Australia recently announced the closure of its Ladbrokes Racing Club (LRC), citing rising product fees, taxes, and operational costs in the Australian racing industry as the key reasons behind the decision.
