Betssons leadership team will soon see a change, as the company’s board has revealed Pontus Lindwall’s departure from the CEO role. This choice comes as Betsson aims to modify its strategic course, even with record-breaking revenue and earnings achieved during Lindwall’s tenure.
A seasoned professional in the gaming sector, Lindwall has spent almost 25 years at Betsson. His initial mandate was to bring stability and prepare the company for future expansion. Having successfully fulfilled this objective, the board feels the time is optimal for a leadership transition.
The quest for a new CEO will prioritize candidates who can leverage the possibilities arising from evolving regulatory environments within the worldwide gaming industry. Possessing a solid base and robust financial standing, Betsson is well-positioned for sustained prosperity under a fresh leader.
The company expressed immense appreciation for Pontus Lindwall’s commitment throughout his tenure. His leadership has positioned us exceptionally well for future success.
While a search for a replacement is underway, Pontus will remain in the CEO role. Following his departure, he will receive a full year’s salary.”
