Entain has appointed Ronald Kramer as an Independent Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.

Alongside his appointment at Entain, Kramer is the Chairman and CEO of Griffon Corporation, a management and holding company.

He also serves on the Board of Douglas Elliman, a residential brokerage company.

Prior to this, Kramer joined Wynn Resorts in 2002 as the President and Director, before leaving in 2008.

Barry Gibson, Entain Chairman, said: "I am delighted to announce the appointment of Ron to the Board.

“He is a high calibre individual with deep knowledge and expertise of the US gaming industry.

“I am confident that his appointment will add significant value to the Board and complement our existing Board dynamics, as we continue to deliver our strategy of growth and focus on shareholder value."

As part of this position, Kramer will receive an annual payment of £95,000 ($121,318.80).
