The board of Entain Plc has confirmed the appointment of Rahul Welde as an Independent Non-Executive Director (NED) of the FTSE100 global gambling group. 

Welde is the current Executive Vice President of Global Digital Transformation for Unilever plc, which is recognised as the FTSE’s biggest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company and the overall index’s fourth most valuable company.

Further to his NED appointment, Welde has chosen to serve on Entain’s ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Committee.
