In light of Lazzarato’s departure, Flutter has announced a series of adjustments to its committee structure, effective from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. Nancy Cruickshank will take on the role of Chair of the Risk and Sustainability Committee, in addition to joining the Audit Committee. These appointments underscore the importance Flutter places on governance, risk management, and sustainability in its operations.

Concurrently, Nancy Dubuc will bring her expertise to the Risk and Sustainability Committee, reflecting Flutter’s commitment to integrating diverse perspectives into its risk management strategies.
