Flutter UK&I CEO Conor Grant Steps Down, Ian Brown to Take Over

Flutter Entertainment plc has announced significant leadership changes in its UK & Ireland (UK&I) business. Conor Grant, who has served as the CEO of Flutter UK&I, has resigned and will leave his role before the end of the year to take a planned career break.

Ian Brown, the former CEO of Booking.com’s Trips division, will succeed Conor Grant. Brown will assume responsibility for the Paddy Power, Sky Betting and Gaming, Betfair and Tombola brands in the UK & Ireland. Conor and Ian will work together to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.

Conor Grant joined Sky Betting & Gaming 12 years ago and oversaw a hugely successful period for the company, including its transformational sale to The Stars Group. Following Flutter’s merger with The Stars Group two years ago, Conor has led the consolidation of Flutter’s UK&I business, including managing the business through the pandemic and leading the business’ response on the UK Government’s review of gambling legislation. He also successfully completed the acquisition of the UK’s leading bingo operator, Tombola.
