Fredrik Burvall has joined igaming company Gambling.com as an independent director having spent more than 11 years at Cherry Group as CFO and most recently as CEO.
Under his guidance, Cherry became one of the largest Nordic-facing gaming companies and saw its share price rise by over 800 per cent, Gambling.com said. Burvall oversaw major acquisitions including performance marketing company Game Lounge in 2015 and online operator ComeOn in 2016.
Having stepped down as CEO of Cherry in January 2017, Burvall is now active on the boards of two Stockholm listed companies, AspireGlobal and myTaste, as well as privately held Enteractive Malta. He holds an MBA in Economics from Stockholm University.
Burvall said: “I’m thrilled to have begun a new chapter of my career with Gambling.com, one of the industry’s leading providers of performance-based marketing. The group holds the industry industry’s number one domain name, Gambling.com, and a state-of-the-art publishing platform for affiliate sites, along with a proprietary business intelligence platform that gives the group great opportunities for growth.”
Gambling.com’s chief executive, Charles Gillespie, said: “It gives me great pleasure to welcome Fredrik Burvall as our first independent director. Fredrik’s broad experience in the online gaming sector will certainly help the group achieve its aggressive growth plans in the coming years.”
