Lee Feldman (businessman)


Lee Michael Feldman is an American lawyer and businessman, and the chairman of GVC Holdings, the FTSE 100 Index gambling conglomerate, and the managing partner of the private equity firm, Twin Lakes Capital Management, LLC.

Early life

Feldman earned a bachelor's degree and a juris doctorate in law, both from Columbia University.

Career

Feldman started his career as a corporate lawyer for O'Sullivan, Graev and Karabell.
In December 2004, Feldman joined GVC Holdings, and has been non-executive chairman since September 2008.
In 2007, Feldman co-founded the private equity firm, Twin Lakes Capital Management, LLC.
From at least 2008 to 2012, Feldman was CEO of Aurora Brands, which owns the home furnishing brands MacKenzie-Childs and Jay Strongwater.
In 2017, Feldman and the CEO of GVC, Kenny Alexander earned a total of £26.9 million, and 44% of shareholders voted against the company's remuneration report.
On March 22, 2019, Sky News reported that Feldman would leave the company on or before the company’s "annual general meeting next year". Steven Stradbrooke of CalvinAyers.com has reported that date to be June 5. While Feldman was overdue to leave under UK corporate governance code that recommends chairs of listed companies not stay in position longer than nine years, the news came two weeks after Feldman sold £6m worth of his GVC shares and CEO Alexander sold shares worth £13.7m, which led to GVC’s share price falling nearly 14% in a single day.

Personal life

Feldman is married to Suzanne Feldman. They live in Waban, Massachusetts, and has a son studying at Columbia.
