Former Disney CFO Christine McCarthy has joined the board of directors of online gambling company Flutter Entertainment.
McCarthy has been the Disney CFO from 2015 through June 2023 and then served as strategic adviser of Disney from July 2023 through June 2024. McCarthy announced she was stepping down in June 2023, with the company saying she needed to take a family medical leave of absence.
Flutter Entertainment owns brands including FanDuel, Paddy Power, PokerStars, Sky Betting & Gaming, Sisal and Sportsbet.
In addition to working closely with Iger during his first turn as CEO, McCarthy also worked closely with Chapek and backed several of his initiatives, including cost-cutting measures, which raised eyebrows during Iger’s second turn as CEO.
She has also been on the board of directors at Proctor & Gamble starting in 2019 and is the chair of its audit committee and is a director of FM Global and the chair of its finance committee.
