FDJ Makes Changes to its Executive Committee Following the Integration of Kindred

In line with recent major strategic operations, including in particular the acquisition of Kindred, FDJ has made changes to its Executive Committee.
FDJ Group’s acquisition of Kindred creates a European champion with a diversified, balanced profile, underpinned by businesses under exclusive rights – chiefly the lottery in France and Ireland – and businesses open to competition in the European online betting and gaming market.
The Group’s new operating model highlights the digitalisation, diversification and globalisation of its activities. It represents the newest phase in the organisational transformation of the Group, which is now present in nearly 15 countries.
FDJ Group is now structured around four business units:
• French lottery and retail sports betting, responsible for operating lottery games at points of sale and online as well as sports betting at points of sale (activities subject to exclusive rights).
• Online betting and gaming, responsible for sports and horse-race betting, poker and online casino gaming open to competition, in the markets where these activities are authorised.
• International lottery, notably including Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI), which operates the Irish lottery.
• Payment and services, with activities combined under the Nirio brand.
These four business units will be supported by cross-functional departments covering areas such as innovation, technology, digital acceleration, data and AI as well as Group functions (finance, strategy, legal, corporate social responsibility, communications, etc.).
