William Hill and Mr Green owner 888 has announced the appointment of Sean Wilkins as its new chief financial officer, effective February 1, 2024.

Wilkins has 17 years of experience in CFO roles at both private and public companies, having most recently held the position of Group CFO of Superbet, an omni-channel betting and gaming business with operations primarily across Romania, Poland, Serbia and Belgium.

Prior to this, he held CFO roles at several consumer-facing businesses including Big Bus Tours, Domino’s Pizza, Tesco Malaysia, Tesco Telecom and O2 Asia.

Current CFO Yariv Dafna will step down from his role and the board on October 2 following an orderly handover of responsibilities to chief strategy officer Vaughan Lewis, who will also assume the role of interim CFO until Wilkins joins.

Executive chair Lord Mendelsohn said: “In addition to having an in-depth understanding of the betting and gaming industry, Sean brings a wealth of relevant experience gained in CFO roles at international businesses, where he has demonstrated a strong track record of value creation.”
