The support follows a turbulent few years at Entain, where top-level turnover has become all too common. If appointed, David would become the fourth CEO in five years.<\/p>\n<p>She joined the Board in 2021 and became Chair in 2024, after already having taken on the <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/entain-announces-key-board-appointments-following-stella-davids-interim-ceo-appointment\/\">interim CEO role<\/a> following the departure of another CEO in 2024, Jette Nygaard. Her transition to interim CEO came suddenly after Gavin Isaacs departed after just five months on the job. Since then, she has led the business through its latest financial reporting period, which showed steady growth. Net gaming revenue excluding the US grew 7 percent to \u00a35.16 billion ($6.66 billion), while gross profit also rose 7 percent to \u00a33.12 billion.<\/p>\n<p>That performance, along with her familiarity with the company, has led many to advocate for her permanent appointment. <em>\u201cShe knows the business, she comes across very well in meetings,\u201d one shareholder told the Financial Times. \u201cGiven the alternative \u2014 a new chair and a new CEO \u2014 I\u2019d much prefer to see Stella stay on in the CEO role and [for Entain to] appoint a new chair.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
