Fortuna Entertainment Group (FEG) has confirmed the appointment of Victor Corcoran as new Chief Executive of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) omni-channel gambling business.

The move sees FEG conclude its nine-month search to find a leadership successor to Per Widerström who stood down as CEO of the business back in January, choosing to end his eight-year tenure as Chief Executive of the CEE gambling group.

Corcoran is the former CEO of Paddy Power Online (2018-2022) where he oversaw the Irish bookmaker’s technical integration with Betfair’s sports betting platform.

This summer, he announced that he had left Flutter Entertainment, choosing not to participate in the FTSE100 firm’s leadership reorganisation of its business units.
