Ladbrokes Coral CCO Kristof Fahy to depart
EGR understands Fahy will leave the operator in September to pursue new opportunities
Ladbrokes Coral’s chief customer officer Kristof Fahy is to leave the operator to seek new opportunities, EGR Intel has learned.
Fahy will leave the firm in September and will not be directly replaced, with his staff re-allocated to other executives.
His departure follows the successful integration of the marketing functions of the two firms post-merger.
Ladbrokes Coral CEO Jim Mullen told staff: “I recruited Kristof to the Ladbrokes business back in 2015 and he started in January 2016, where he was instrumental in helping me re-establish the Ladbrokes brand presence and focus.”
He added: “He has also played a key role in helping Ladbrokes Coral merge its marketing functions and structure operations in the divisions.

“With the greater focus on the Retail and Digital teams delivering day-to-day marketing, I understand that he wants a new challenge and wish him well.”
Fahy originally joined Ladbrokes as chief commercial officer and was appointed to his current role in September 2016.
He also previously worked as William Hill’s chief marketing officer for a five-year stint from 2010 to 2015, as well holding senior marketing roles at Telegraph Media Group, Yahoo! and Orange.
