EXPEKT CHIEF EXECUTIVE Per Widerström has left the business and been replaced by Nicolas Béraud, chief operating officer (COO) of Expekt parent company Mangas Gaming in a management reshuffle that has also seen Expekt chief financial officer Joe Sanchez leave the company.
An Expekt statement said only: “Their departure is due to different strategic views in how to move Expekt forward. We thank them for the work and commitment they have shown and wish them success in their future endeavours.”
Béraud’s (pictured above right at EGR Live) role as interim replacement for Widerstrom will be in addition to his current roles as COO at Mangas, which began in May, and as chief executive of Mangas-owned operator Betclick.
The executive reshuffle at Mangas Gaming, a new entrant to the 2009 Power 50 leading operators and the French parent company of Betclick, Expekt and Bet-At-Home, will also see Betclick chief operating officer Thomas Winter act on an interim basis alongside Béraud as chief operating officer of Expekt.
The chief financial officer post will be filled on an interim basis by Maarten Van Hecke, while Mangas Gaming chief marketing officer Tarquin Henderson will combine his existing duties with that of acting chief marketing officer at Expekt.
The rest of the management team is composed of legal and regulatory manager Lisa Lombardi, sportsbook trading manager Dinos Stranomitis and human resources manager Michael Mifsud, who will report to Thomas Winter until further notice.
