Paddy Power, the Irish retail and online gambling group, announced that it has hired a new man to fill the role of Marketing Director. Thirty three year old Christian Woolfenden will take over the role from Barni Evans, who moved to Australia to head the company’s divisions Down Under, namely IASBet and Sportsbet. Woolfenden joins Paddy Power from Barcadi, where he held the position as Global Brand Director.
“I am also delighted that someone of Christian's caliber has agreed to join the Paddy Power team,” said the Chief Executive Officer of Paddy Power, Patrick Kennedy. “He is regarded as one of the top young marketeers in the UK and internationally, and his appointment illustrates both the international ambition of Paddy Power and our continued investment in talent".
Paddy Power recently posted strong half year market results, and its profits rose especially from its online and mobile sectors. The only division which saw a drop in profits was the company’s Irish retail shops, due to horse races that played out in favor of the punters.
