888 appoints Sean Wilkins as CFO

(Sharecast News) - William Hill and Mr Green owner 888 said on Wednesday that it has appointed Sean Wilkins as chief financial officer with effect from 1 February 2024.

Wilkins has 17 years of experience in CFO roles at both private and public companies, having most recently held the position of Group CFO of Superbet, an omni-channel betting and gaming business with operations primarily across Romania, Poland, Serbia and Belgium.

Prior to this, he held CFO roles at several consumer-facing businesses including Big Bus Tours, Domino's Pizza, Tesco Malaysia, Tesco Telecom, and O2 Asia.

Current CFO Yariv Dafna will step down from his role and the board on 2 October following an orderly handover of responsibilities to chief strategy officer Vaughan Lewis, who will also assume the role of interim CFO until Wilkins joins.

Executive chair Lord Mendelsohn said: "In addition to having an in-depth understanding of the betting and gaming industry, Sean brings a wealth of relevant experience gained in CFO roles at international businesses, where he has demonstrated a strong track record of value creation."
