Esports Entertainment Group lands new CFO
Malta-headquartered operator shifts board member Damian Mathews to C-level role to replace Dan Marks
Esports Entertainment Group (EEG) has appointed finance veteran Damian Mathews as the operator’s new chief financial officer (CFO).
Mathews joins the esports-centric operator from Quattro Real Estate where he has served as group chief operating officer since June 2021.
He previously worked as CFO for the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Investment Company from 2014 to 2020.
He has also spent time as CFO of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and as financial controller for the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Mathews will replace Dan Marks, who became EEG CFO following the operator’s acquisition of Argyll Entertainment in 2020.
Mathews will assume the role on 2 April. He has served on EEG’s board of directors and as chair of the audit committee since June 2020.
Speaking on his arrival, Mathews said: “I am delighted to accept the appointment as EEG’s chief financial officer. 2022 will be a pivotal and exciting time as we aim to continue to grab market share and develop and enhance our products to drive strong unit economics.
“I believe the company’s product offerings are at the early stages of their growth cycles and well-positioned to capitalise on a sizable market opportunity and evolving consumer behaviours,” he added.
Grant Johnson, EEG CEO, commented: “Damian has been a valuable part of the company’s board since 2020 and we’re confident his expertise and leadership will make him a critical partner as we execute on our strategic and financial plan for this year and beyond.”
