FanDuel Group on Tuesday said it has appointed David Jennings as its Chief Financial Officer.
According to the company, Jennings will be responsible for oversight on all of FanDuel’s finance functions, including FP&A, strategy, accounting, procurement, tax and treasury in support of the company’s sportsbook, casino, racing, daily fantasy, retail and corporate functions.
Jennings joins FanDuel from parent company Flutter, where he served as Group Director of Investor Relations and FP&A.
He also led the Corporate Development team at Flutter for a period.
Prior to joining Flutter, Jennings was an equity research analyst: first at Goldman Sachs Asset Management and then at J&E Davy, where his research focus was principally the gaming industry and in particular the rise of online and mobile wagering.
Jennings holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Business from Trinity College Dublin. He is based in the company’s New York headquarters.
“David is a consummate financial executive who brings valuable institutional knowledge to FanDuel, and I am delighted to welcome him to our leadership team,” Amy Howe, President and Chief Executive Officer for FanDuel Group, said in a statement. “As we continue to grow our business and increase our market share, David will bring a keen eye for how we can continuously improve our financial approach and discipline, a hallmark of Flutter and FanDuel’s strength.”
FanDuel Group consists of a portfolio of brands across gaming, sports betting, daily fantasy sports, advance-deposit wagering, and TV/media, including FanDuel, Stardust Casino and TVG. The company has a presence across all 50 US states and 12 million customers.
