- Stockholm University
1999-2004
MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS
Thunberg attended Frans Schartau Business Institute from 1997 to 1998 and attended Stockholm University from 1999 to 2004.
EMPLOYMENT
Thunberg replaced the previous CEO, Martina Åkerlund, who stepped down after three years at the helm, but will retain her role on the company’s Board of Directors.
Thunberg is not new to Triggy, however, he is a co-founder of the company, having been with it since its earliest days in June 2017.
His professional career started in January 2000, when he became a Certified Auditor for E&M Revision AB, a position he held for seven years, until January 2007.
Then he worked as a Group Accounting Manager for Entraction, an international group within the digital gaming industry, from January 2007 to December 2011.
Next, he had a short stint with IGT Interactive/Entraction, from January 2012 to January 2013, when served as Finance Manager.
For more than four years, he was the Finance Manager/Head of Finance for Vera & John Casino in Stockholm, from January 2013 to June 2017.
Over the course of his career, he worked on various IPO processes, including setting up company structures and implementing internal systems. For example, while Vera & John Casino was being acquired by The Intertain Group, Thunberg was a core member of the mergers and acquisitions team.
After he left Vera & John Casino is when Thunberg co-founded Triggy. Triggy expanded in the US by partnering with LeoVegas. That deal lead to adding American football to LeoAlerts. Shortly thereafter, Triggy entered into an agreement with Venuetize to boost better engagement.
Those developments led to Triggy securing a new round of Series A funding, led by the VC fund Ikigai Ventures, which is managed by Eman Pulis, in June 2022. Pulis is best known as the founder and CEO of SiGMA World, which organizes events for the gaming, AI, blockchain and medtech sectors around the world.
Our unique personalisation platform and products continue to evolve. With this new investment from Ikigai Ventures, coupled with access to SiGMA’s incredible network, we are now well-placed to take Triggy to the next level. Stefan Thunberg
