Global sports betting and gaming group Entain plc is set to replace its CFO and group deputy CEO after 13 years at the company.

Rob Wood will be succeeded by Michael Snape on 6th March 2026, with Wood remaining at the FTSE 100 firm until June 2026 to ensure a smooth handover.

The London-based firm says Wood made a ‘significant impact’ to its growth over the last 13 years, playing a key role in shaping the business into a globally scaled operator with podium positions in attractive regulated markets.

Snape brings over two decades of experience in senior finance and leadership roles, with a proven track record of delivering financial, commercial and operational excellence across large, international companies operating in complex industries.

He joins from global logistics company International Distribution Services (IDS), where he is currently group CFO and recently led its de-listing and sale.

Prior to IDS, he spent five years at Walgreens Boots Alliance as CFO of Boots, No7 Beauty & International.

During his earlier career, he worked for Tesco plc as International CFO, Waitrose and J Sainsburys plc.
