Betting giant Flutter Entertainment has appointed Amy Howe as head of its FanDuel arm as the group continues to consider spinning off the US business.
Ms Howe joined sportsbook and fantasy sport business FanDuel as president in February before becoming its interim chief executive in July. Her appointment comes after previous boss Matt King announced his departure plans in May after four years of leadership.
Flutter, which also owns Paddy Power, said at the time that the departure could delay potential plans to float FanDuel following a period of strong growth.
The US operation, which was bought by Flutter in 2018, has rapidly expanded as states across America steadily eased their sports betting regulations.
