Betsson CFO to step down in August
Rüdén to leave after nearly nine years at the operator, with search now underway for his successor
Betsson Group has announced the operator’s long-serving CFO, Fredrik Rüdén, will step down from his role in August after nearly nine years at the company.
Rüdén originally joined Betsson’s management team in 2008 having previously spent more than two years in senior financial roles at telecommunications supplier Teligent.
The Stockholm-listed firm said a search is now underway to find Rüdén’s successor.
“Fredrik has contributed much to Betsson’s success during the nine years he has served as the company’s CFO,” Ulrik Bengtsson, CEO and president of Betsson, said. “I wish him all the best for the future.”
In a post on his LinkedIn profile, Rüdén added: “Time to move on, but I remain with Betsson until end of August. Then I am planning to go hunting for a while before I take on the next exciting mission.”
The announcement of his departure comes after Betsson recently joined the likes of Kindred Group and GVC Holdings at the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA).
The operator has also been busy on the M&A front this year, including its expansion into the Spanish online gambling market after acquiring Spain-facing operator Premier Casino for €3m.
