Richard Howarth will leave the company, and its board, less than two years after joining the group from Telstra.
Howarth has also held senior marketing roles at Defence Force Recruiting, Foxtel and the Coca-Cola company.
Sportingbet Group Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Howarth has been an invaluable member of the Sportingbet Group board since joining the company. “During this time he and his team have faced and conquered many challenges as the business continued to grow,” Sullivan said.
“He has also overseen the very challenging task of integrating Centrebet and coordinating the two brands. The Marketing department of this business has grown aggressively over the years and Richard has done a great job in managing this growth. I wish Richard all the best for the future and thank him personally for all his hard work and support.”
Howarth said: “It’s incredibly competitive and fast moving and has all the challenges you’d expect from a digital marketing, acquisition and retention category. It has been a pleasure and great experience to direct the businesses marketing and serve on the board under the leadership of CEO Michael Sullivan – and the camaraderie within the team.”
