Betting.net / iGaming HR Roundup For August 2023

iGaming HR Roundup For August 2023

Publish Date: August 9, 2023
Fact checked by: Alyx Tzamantanis

Last month saw key moves in personnel at major iGaming operators such as Kindred Group, 888 and LeoVegas. Here’s a quick overview of the biggest HR moves in iGaming as of August 2023.

iGaming HR Roundup

Kindred loses its head of brand and sponsorship

Kindred Group has just announced that it will be losing its current head of brand and sponsorship, Mateusz Samolyk. He will be leaving the company after serving in the role for the past three years and Samolyk was with Kindred Group in other positions such as brand manager and acquisition specialist since 2012.

It comes at a tricky time for the brand with a change in leadership bringing in the interim CEO, Nils Anden, in May, while there was the appointment of the new interim chief financial officer, Patrick Kortman, this June. Kindred Group is rumored to be anticipating either a merger or a partial sale of the business in the coming months.

A new chief executive comes to 888

Per Widerström was named as the new chief executive of 888 Holdings at the end of July. It is expected that the industry veteran will take the new role from October 2023.

The move comes after a period of relative turmoil for 888 that has been without a chief executive since January. This was caused by Itai Pazner suddenly leaving his role due to investigations into KYC failings.

Widerström will join 888 following nearly a decade as the CEO of the Fortuna Entertainment Group. Prior to this, he has worked in executive roles for the likes of Gala Coral and Bwin.

While Widerström will be joining 888, the current director of business development, Yariv Lavi, will be leaving the company. Lavi has worked at 888 for over 13 years and played a key role in the acquisition of the non-US assets of William Hill, as well as the expansion of 888 throughout the US.

FanDuel to boost responsible gaming strategy

The US operator FanDuel has pledged to speed up its responsible gaming plans with the appointment of Alison Kutler as the new vice-president of this sector. She will cover areas such as responsible gaming policy, regulatory matters and product development.

Kutler has over 25 years’ experience working for brands as far-ranging as the Dapper Labs blockchain developer and Visa. She has also held positions working as head of the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau for the US government.

LeoVegas Canada gets a new boss

LeoVegas is stepping up in its bid to gain market share in Canada with the naming of its new boss, Jacob Hargaden-Llewllin. He has previously worked with the ComeOn Group and was the head of Betway. Prior to his new appointment, Hargaden-Llewllin was the country manager for Soft2Bet in Canada and Ireland.

Casumo gets a new chief technology office

Cristina Turbatu has just been announced to be the new chief technology officer at Casumo. The online gaming company appointed Turbatu to the role after she was a CTO at BeyondPlay, and prior to that she had worked at Playtech and BetVictor.
