Health Lottery COO David Wall departs
Wall leaves after three years at operator just weeks after CEO Dominic Mansour departed
The Health Lottery has seen its COO leave the company less than two months after chief exec Dominic Mansour headed for the exit, eGaming Review has learned.
David Wall joined the lottery operator as IT and operations director in April 2011 before it was launched in September that year. He was later promoted to chief operations officer when CEO Martin Hall stepped aside just six months later.
Prior to joining The Health Lottery Wall served as technical services manager at Zurich Insurance, and earlier spent four years as GTECH’s European communications manager.
“Dave Wall has played a fundamental role in establishing The Health Lottery as the game which helps to raise money for local good causes in thousands of communities across England, Scotland and Wales. He leaves with all our thanks and good wishes,” a Health Lottery spokesperson said.
eGR understands The Health Lottery has yet to identity a successor either Wall or Mansour.
Former CEO Mansour, who joined the Health Lottery from GTECH in January 2013, left his role in February and yesterday was unveiled as the new MD of Full Tilt Poker.
The Health Lottery, which is owned by Richard Desmond and contributes a percentage of its profits to health-related good causes, enjoyed a boost in player numbers following the price hike of Camelot-owned rival Lotto in October.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Desmond had been exploring opportunities to sell the business, with Playtech one of the names linked to a potential £100m deal.
