Health Lottery not seeking new CEO
Society lottery decides not to replace recently departed CEO Dominic Mansour and COO David Wall
The Health Lottery will not be appointing direct replacements for the recently departed pair of CEO Dominic Mansour and COO David Wall, eGaming Review understands.
According to sources, the Northern & Shell subsidiary will instead be sharing the responsibilities out amongst those already within the Group, which also includes companies such as Express Newspapers and Channel 5.
Mansour, who joined the company in January 2013, resigned from his role in February and this month took up the position of managing director at poker giant Full Tilt.
He was followed out of the exit door by chief operating officer Wall, who quit last month after having joined the Health Lottery ahead of its launch in 2011.
The decision not to appoint direct replacements for Mansour and Wall comes amid speculation the media company could be willing to part with its lottery business.
Recent media reports suggested software supplier Playtech and Cardiff City Football Club owner Vincent Tan could be willing to purchase the operator for a fee of around £100m.
The Health Lottery, which is owned by Richard Desmond and contributes a percentage of its profits to health-related good causes, has enjoyed a boost in player numbers in recent months following the price hike of Camelot-powered rival Lotto in October.
