Flutter Southern Europe & Africa 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳 — and its long-standing CPO is moving into a brand-new public affairs seat. 👀 Paola Bausano joins as Chief Product Officer from 1 June, replacing Rosangela Robbiani who steps into the newly created Chief Public Affairs Officer role. Bausano brings serious Italian operator credentials: former CEO of GoldBet (where she oversaw the sale to Lottomatica), CEO of EUROBET Ltd., and a stint running supplier Logifuture. Robbiani, who spent close to 20 years at Sisal before Flutter's €1.9bn acquisition, takes on a role Flutter built specifically for her — a pointed signal given Italy's fresh licensing cycle and the regulatory pressure building across Southern Europe. The changes follow the January exit of SEA CEO Francesco Durante, meaning three of the division's most senior roles have turned over in six months. Flutter Entertainment and Lottomatica each hold a combined ~30% brand share in Italy — the stakes are real for getting the leadership structure right. Flutter's spokesperson called the moves a strengthening of "𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦." 🎯 With roughly 5,000 employees in the SEA division and Italy as the anchor market, both appointments will be watched closely.
