Relax Gaming elevates Martin Stålros, its former COO, to the position of CEO, citing his extensive 15-year tenure and diverse experience in the industry. Stålros succeeds Simon Hammon, who was tasked with steering the company’s growth and strategic initiatives. With expansions into markets like Italy and the Netherlands underway, Stålros aims to propel Relax Gaming’s success further.
Martin Stålros has just replaced Nima Aboukhadel as the new CEO of Relax Gaming, a company that is a dominant player in the field of creating and providing iGaming content solutions. It is unique for a company to put a replacement from within instead of going outside. He already performed well in his COO position, and now he has gained a higher position.
It is very reasonable for the distributor to choose Stålros because Relax Gaming has been a platform for expanding its range of content. Eventually, the motley organization found the right candidate in a pro who has been in the gaming industry for 15 years and held various managerial positions in its own company and other leading businesses like Ladbrokes and Unibet; he was appointed COO of Relax in 2015 and stayed on the position for more than 9 years.
Stålros in the upcoming years will act as a solid pillar that will allow Relax Gaming to accomplish its strategic agendas and remain in that process of healthy growth. The COO will remain until October this year, and then give in the reins to the newcomer so that the success will not be interrupted by the transition period and the company will keep attaining its primary application pursuits.
Hammon approved of Stålros taking the berth that had been his with the unanswered question of who would succeed him in the post. Stålros was the best man for the job anyhow. Stalross’ practical leadership was highly appreciated, which made that company more likely to reach its goals achievement. The humility he demonstrated in step down asperated applause demanding his service for a whole year filled with anticipation for the company’s future under the presidency of Stålros.
Stålros himself joined him and expressed gratitude for the chance to assume the significant role. Stålros pointed out that in the 9.5 years he has been COO, the company has expanded from 30 employees to 350, and he is driven to see Relax Gaming grow even more.
Stålros acknowledged the foundation laid by his predecessors, expressing gratitude for the stable structure and close collaboration fostered with Patrik Österåker, the Founder, and Simon Hammon, the former CEO, which provided valuable insight into Relax Gaming’s development.
Patrik Osteraker, Chairman of the Board at Relax Gaming, expressed satisfaction with Stålros’ appointment as CEO, stating that his experience aligns well with the company’s growth plans. Osteraker emphasized Stålros’ suitability to support and lead Relax Gaming’s ambitious trajectory.
Relax Gaming has been expanding its presence in countries like the Netherlands and Italy in the interim.
