Layoffs
AmericasFanDuel has undergone its third round of layoffs in less than a year, with a few hundred employees laid off across software engineering, customer service, and business development. This is part of a broader restructuring following CEO Amy Howe's departure in May and the sunsetning of FanDuel TV network.
Leadership read: While FanDuel is currently reducing headcount, this represents a contraction phase. However, executive search should monitor for future hiring needs in AI/ML, prediction market product development, and senior leadership roles (CEO replacement, product strategy). May see talent available from layoffs
