LeoVegas Gaming chief executive departs

Johan Styren has stepped down as chief executive of LeoVegas Gaming, the Maltese subsidiary of LeoVegas.

Styren has served in the role since 2012 and is a member of the LeoVegas senior management team.

Although he will remain as a director of various LeoVegas subsidiaries during a transitional period, Styren will gradually withdraw from these assignments prior to his official departure from the management team on June 30.

Styren’s responsibilities will be handled within the framework of the existing organisation.

“When I started at LeoVegas 2012 we had just launched and had no customers; today we are market leaders,” Styren said.

“Since then, we have managed to build the world's best mobile casino, added sports games and live casino, listed on Nasdaq First North and made LeoVegas one of the best gaming companies in the world.

“After more than five fantastic years, I feel it's time to move on to new challenges.”

Gustaf Hagman, group chief executive and co-founder of LeoVegas, added: “Johan has been very valuable to LeoVegas, primarily by being part of building our business in Malta.

“Johan has been part of creating what LeoVegas is today and I want to thank him for his amazing effort during his five years at LeoVegas.

“I wish him all the best in the future,”
