Perhaps Hiring Within the Company
Ladbrokes announced just this past week that the online casino gambling group is
seeking out a new CEO to take over the helm of this huge and internationally
respected gambling group. Ladbrokes has been in the betting industry for
decades, and in the last ten years took that stellar land betting reputation and
created an internet-based gaming company to compliment the land gambling options
through bingo, online casinos, poker, and betting. This company has a long
history of great success in the market thanks to a strong team of employees. As
Ladbrokes seeks out a replacement for current CEO, Christopher Bell, the company
announced that it planned to promote within the company if possible.
Bell’s performance within the company has come under intense scrutiny over the
past year as he struggled to propel Ladbrokes out of the global economic
recession while also building the company’s online casinos and internet gambling
divisions. Bell’s limited success on this front has prompted the Ladbrokes
investors to seek out new leadership for the reputable and strong gambling
brand. Bell himself has taken this plan well and agreed with the board to step
down from his position once a suitable replacement is found.
There is actually no telling if the online casino gambling group will hire from
within the company, or look outside of the current Ladbrokes team for some truly
fresh blood. Bell noted in his comments to the media that there are some very
strong choices within Ladbrokes should the company choose to go that route –
there is also a chance that the gambling group will hire outside of Ladbrokes. |
