Aristocrat Leisure named Dafne Guisard as its next CEO, replacing Trevor Croker in April 2027. The Aristocrat CEO transition is subject to regulatory approval.

– New CEO: Guisard joined Aristocrat in February 2026 and currently oversees EMEA commercial operations and Product Madness. She previously served as COO at Entain.
