DUBLIN – Flutter Entertainment plc said Monday that Amy Howe has left the company and her role as chief executive officer of FanDuel, its U.S. sports betting and iGaming division.

Christian Genetski, FanDuel’s president, will take over leadership of the business and continue executing the division’s strategy, the company said. Genetski joined FanDuel in 2015 and oversees corporate strategy, business development, partnerships, and the company’s legal and regulatory affairs. Flutter credited him with playing a key role in the expansion of legal sports betting across the United States and in FanDuel’s rise to market leadership.

Flutter also said Dan Taylor, CEO of the company’s international division, will assume a newly created role as president of Flutter Entertainment while continuing to oversee the international business. Taylor, a decade‑long company veteran, will be responsible for commercial performance across Flutter’s global brand portfolio.

“With significant growth potential ahead, we have decided this is the right moment for new leadership at FanDuel,” Flutter CEO Peter Jackson said in a statement. He thanked Howe for her work since joining in 2021 and said Genetski brings “deep market knowledge” and a strong track record. Jackson said Taylor’s expanded role will help the company maximize its global scale and investment.

Howe said leading FanDuel “has been a privilege” and that the company is well positioned for its next phase. “I believe this is the right moment to hand over to new leadership to build on that progress and capture the opportunities ahead,” she said.
