Malta-based igaming provider Aspire Global has appointed Jesper Kärrbrink as chairman of its subsidiary aggregator and games developer Pariplay.
Kärrbrink is the former CEO of Mr Green, a subsidiary of William Hill, which has been in the headlines in recent weeks following a run-in with Britain’s Gambling Commission.
Commenting on his appointment, Kärrbrink, said: “Pariplay is an exciting company with a strong position in a time of transition for the igaming industry.
“I look forward to supporting the management of Pariplay in strengthening the offering to operators in terms of innovation and competitive strength.”
Aspire purchased Pariplay for €13.1m from Isle of Man-based GMS Entertainment in October 2019.
Tsachi Maimon, CEO of Aspire Global, said: “Jesper Kärrbrink brings extensive experience from the igaming industry and game development in particular, including deep knowledge about especially the European igaming market.
“We have high expectations for Pariplay as an important addition to our B2B-business and as chairman Jesper Kärrbrink will contribute to the refining of Pariplay’s strategy and in realising the full potential of our acquisition.”
The 2018 €310m purchase of Pariplay gave Aspire Global access to the regulated US market as the company held an igaming certificate in New Jersey.
