Following the announcement of Richard Brown stepping down from the role of CEO, the Gaming Innovation Group board has appointed Jonas Warrer as acting group CEO.
Warrer is currently the CEO of GiG’s Media division and will take on dual responsibility until the proposed process of the entities split is complete.
Richard Brown will continue to support the business in an advisory board position until December 31, while the Platform & Sportsbook division has secured the leadership of Richard Carter, appointed as its CEO back in August.
Warrer joined GiG in 2017 through the acquisition of Rebel Penguin Aps, where he was founder and managing director. He has since worked to build up GiG Media, stepping up as managing director of the business unit since 2019.
GiG initiated a strategic review earlier this year with the intention to split the company into two separate companies, GiG Media and Platform & Sportsbook, giving the business units the potential to grow faster than in the current corporate structure.
Petter Nylander, executive chairman of GiG, said: “We are very pleased to appoint Jonas as acting CEO through the process of splitting GiG into two distinct entities to enhance future expansion and drive shareholder value."
