Malta-based iGaming operator PressEnter Group has promoted Hampus Eriksson to the role of deputy CEO.
Eriksson has served as chief product officer (CPO) for the past two years, and helped launch the operator’s first sports betting brand, XLBet, as well as enter markets including Ontario and Romania.
Prior to joining PressEnter, Eriksson worked for the likes of GTECH (now part of IGT), William Hill International, NetEnt, ComeOn, and Reel Rush.
“Hampus has achieved great things since joining PressEnter Group and this promotion is a reward for his hard work,” said PressEnter CEO Lahcene Merzoug. “This will also help to free up my time so that I can focus more on strategy and long-term projects.
“I have worked with Hampus for more than ten years. He is a highly experienced executive and product specialist and knows exactly how to run a business that is as effective as it is efficient. Through his bold leadership and natural talent, I am confident that we will continue to progress at pace over the months ahead.”
Commenting on his promotion, Eriksson said: “Following the management buyout, the company is in a much stronger position with the foundations in place to deploy smart, effective strategies for growth.
“We are combining this with an incredibly talented team, and a skilled, ambitious C-Suite to ensure that we not only meet but exceed our goals. I am thrilled to have been promoted to the role of deputy CEO and look forward to working alongside Lahcene to lead this organisation to the greatness I know it can achieve.”
