Breon Corcoran is an Irish businessman who worked for numerous businesses, including JP Morgan and Bankers Trust before joining Paddy Power in 2001. He joined the gambling giant to develop the company's non-retail business. Corcoran became a board member after merely three years at the company and rose to COO in August 2010. He then quit Paddy Power and joined UK-based Betfair. In 2016, he sold part of his shares in Betfair for £4.1 million. Some sources are suggesting that Corcoran may have indicated that he wanted to leave Paddy Power Betfair and that this is the reason why the company is looking for a new CEO.
