Current IT director Mikael Franzén will become the Swedish operator’s head of the new group function, Gaming responsibility and data-driven transformation.

Lovisa Ekman, who is currently the head of corporate IT, will move into a broader head of IT role.

Both will take up their new positions on April 1.

Erik Strand, president and CEO of Svenska Spel, said: “I am very happy to welcome Mikael Franzén and Lovisa Ekman in their new roles.

“They are responsible for important areas in our work to ensure that Svenska Spel enters the future as a continued strong and competitive group.

“Mikael and Lovisa are also experienced leaders who are appreciated by both employees and group management.”

Svenska Spel said it hopes its organisational reshuffle, which started last autumn, will strengthen the company’s responsible gaming efforts, “increase the ability to make data-driven decisions throughout the group” and help fuel continued investments in IT and tech.
