UK's Playtech to name ex-DAZN executive Gleasure as chair, Sky News says
April 15 (Reuters) - British gambling technology firm Playtech PTEC.L is set to name former DAZN executive John Gleasure as its next chairman, Sky News reported on Tuesday.
Gleasure, who will succeed Brian Mattingley, is executive chairman of U.S.-based The Sporting News and a co-founder of digital sports media group Perform.
Playtech declined to comment on the report.
Mattingley, former chairman and CEO of 888, the London-listed bookmaker now called Evoke EVOK.L, is leaving Playtech after four years.
Playtech last week received regulatory approvals to sell its Italian unit Snaitech to the world's largest gambling firm Flutter FLTRF.L for 2.3 billion euros ($2.59 billion).
The sale will transition the company into a pure business-to-business software provider.
