A former CEO at ANS Group has been handed the top job at Trainline plc.
Ian Brown will succeed Jody Ford, who has doubled net ticket sales at the rail travel platform and overseen growth in new markets in France, Spain and Italy during his six years in charge.
Most recently, he was CEO of the UK & Ireland division of Flutter Entertainment Plc, the Irish-American parent company of Betfair, FanDuel, Paddy Power, PokerStars, Sky Betting & Gaming and Sportsbet which is listed both in New York and London.
At Flutter he delivered sustained double-digit growth but left as part of a restructuring of the firm. Prior to this, he was CEO of Manchester cloud and digital transformation provider ANS Group and, previously, CEO of the Trips business unit at Booking.com.
