LeoVegas Group is making several changes to its Group Management with the aim to optimise work on driving the Company's strategic agenda for sustainability and the ongoing journey of growth, with a further intensified focus on responsible gaming and LeoSafePlay.

Richard Woodbridge has been recruited as LeoVegas' new Chief Operating Officer (COO) and will have overarching responsibility for operations at LeoVegas' offices in Malta. Richard will assume his new role by 7 January 2019 at the latest and will be a member of LeoVegas' Group Management.

says Richard Woodbridge.

Richard Woodbridge joins LeoVegas from his role as COO of Ellos Group, and prior to this he held a corresponding position at the fast-growing e-commerce company Nelly.com.

Gustaf Hagman, Group CEO, comments:

LeoVegas' current COO, Marcus Nylén, will continue serving in that role in Malta through autumn 2018 until Richard takes office. Due to Marcus and Louise Nyléns relationship as closely related persons, Marcus will leave the Group Management when Richard joins to focus entirely on his role as head of LeoVegas' global expansion.

Louise Nylén will assume the newly created role of Deputy CEO of LeoVegas Mobile Gaming Group, stationed in Stockholm. Louise was formerly Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of LeoVegas. In her role as Deputy CEO she will work side by side Group CEO Gustaf Hagman with strategic issues such as sustainability and value-creating projects, among other things. Louise will assume her new position in the Company today the 10 of July.

comments Louise Nylén.

continues Gustaf Hagman, Group CEO of LeoVegas Mobile Gaming Group.

Louise's former role as CMO will be broken up into several roles in Malta and will thereby be phased out.

Rikard Ljungman is leaving his position as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) as well as LeoVegas' Group Management to focus entirely on responsible gaming and LeoSafePlay. LeoSafePlay will be run as a separate business unit in order to create the best conditions for the next generation responsible gaming system based on machine learning.  Richard Woodbridge will take over Rikard Ljungman's CCO-related duties in Malta.
