TWAITS PROMOTED CEO AT BETFAIR AUSTRALIA
29 August 2008
Replaces Klok, who has moved to Crown Limited
The experienced and respected Betfair executive Andrew
Twaits is to become CEO of Betfair's Australian
operations on 16 October, 2008, replacing Anthony Klok
who is moving to Betfair associate and land gambling
company Crown Limited as International Business
Development Director.
The chairman and co-founder of Betfair, Edward Wray,
says: “Anthony moved across to Betfair on secondment
from PBL in 2006 to guide the initial stages of
Betfair’s establishment in the Australian wagering
landscape. He will leave his position as CEO with the
knowledge that Betfair is well placed to achieve its
objectives in the Australian market. While we’ll be sad
to see Anthony go, we’re delighted that he will retain a
role in the business by staying on the company’s Board.”
Twaits has been Betfair’s Director of Corporate and
Business Affairs in Australia since April 2005. He is a
former lawyer and was a General Manager at Cricket
Australia.
“Andrew has been crucial to the company’s continued
growth in Australia over the last four years and is the
natural successor to Anthony," Wray added. "He has
worked alongside Anthony for the last two years and was
the obvious choice to guide Betfair through the next
stage of its development.
“The Australian wagering market is entering an exciting
period and the Board is very confident in the ability of
Andrew and the rest of the team to help Betfair realise
its potential in this market.”
