Flutter Entertainment has announced the appointment of Stefan Bomhard as an independent Non-Executive Director, effective 1 October 2025.
The appointment forms part of the company’s ongoing board renewal process following an extensive search for suitable candidates.

Commenting on the new appointment, John Bryant, Chair of Flutter’s Board, stated: “Following an extensive search as part of our ongoing Board renewal process, I am delighted to welcome Stefan as a Non-Executive Director.
“Stefan has significant experience working in international environments, particularly in the operation, sales and marketing of well-known consumer brands. We look forward to Stefan joining the Board and contributing to Flutter’s future.”

The appointment adds to Flutter’s governance structure during a period of ongoing expansion. The operator reported in August that group revenue grew 16% year-on-year to $4.19bn in Q2 2025, driven by FanDuel’s strong US performance and growth in Southern Europe, Africa and Brazil.
However, net income declined 88% to $37m, with increased investment and operational challenges in some regions offsetting revenue growth.
