The managing director of Tipico Deutschland Marketing, Christian Gruber, has resigned from his position at the German operator “by mutual agreement”, Tipico announced this morning.
As MD, Gruber was in charge of the entire Tipico group’s strategic communication, its sponsoring partnerships as well as brand communication and retail marketing.
He took up the post in April 2014 after serving in several senior communications roles with Bundesliga football clubs, and oversaw Tipico’s focus on building close ties with professional and grassroots football.
Tipico CEO Joachim Baca said: “Christian Gruber has played an instrumental role in Tipico’s great success. We would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Christian Gruber for his tremendous achievements over the past three years. We wish him and his family all the best and success in his future endeavours.”
Gruber, whose departure will be effective 15 April 2017, said he will now be pursuing “new career challenges”.
