Spiffbet promotes from within to fill vacant CFO role

Spiffbet has promoted its current head of finance to assume the role of chief financial officer on an acting basis. Cecilia Skarin will assume the role as acting CFO on 11 April following the departure of the outgoing Jens Bruno. Bruno signalled his intention to leave the firm on 11 January and is currently serving his three-month notice period. He originally joined Spiffbet in November 2019 and is set to take up a similar role at an unnamed company. Bruno oversaw a spree of M&A during his time as CFO, including the acquisition of Goliath Casino in August 2020, before snapping up Sir Jackpot and Live Lounge in January 2021. Skarin has served as Spiffbet head of finance since February 2020 and will now take the step up to C-level alongside group CEO Henrik Svensson. Prior to joining Spiffbet, Skarin spent time as a finance manager for demolition firm Destroy Rebuilding Company and digital commerce company Vaimo. Speaking to EGR, Svensson said: “Cecilia is the perfect candidate for the role as acting CFO. She has been with Spiffbet during all of our acquisitions and no one knows our operations like Cecilia.” Skarin added: “Taking on the role of CFO at Spiffbet was a challenge that I could not resist. I am very familiar with the role and know the organisation very well. This ensures stability and continuity within the finance function.”
