NetEnt hires Unibet board director as CFO
Supplier names Therese Hillman as new finance boss following Maria Hedengren's departure
NetEnt has appointed Unibet board director Therese Hillman as its new chief financial officer (CFO) and will assume the role in January, the company has confirmed.
Hillman replaces former CFO Maria Hedengren, who decided to leave after nearly five years with the Swedish supplier.
Most recently, Hillman was CEO of Qliro Group subsidiary Gymgrossisten, a Swedish-based online site that sells diet supplements for sports enthusiasts.
And she has been a member of the Unibet Group board, which is set to be rebranded as the Kindred Group, since 2015 and is also a member of the firm’s audit committee.
Hillman will assume her new role on 9 January 2017.
“I’m very pleased to welcome Therese Hillman to NetEnt,” Per Eriksson, president and CEO of NetEnt, said.
“Her experience as CFO and CEO in a digital growth company will make her a strong contribution to the senior management team at NetEnt,” added Eriksson.
Earlier this year, NetEnt finance manager Frida Gustafsson left the company to join rivals Yggdrasil Gaming as its new CFO.
