Starting on 1 June 2022, Munch-Jacobsgaard succeeds Christina Bastius Thomsen, who will take on a new role as Head of Corporate Compliance and Sustainability.
As noted by Better Collective, Munch-Jacobsgaard brings “deep insight and network in the international capital markets through long experience from a role as Institutional Equity Sales at both Danske Bank and SEB.”
There, he advised pan-European clients on equity investments in the Nordic markets. Better Collective added that he has followed the group closely since the IPO in 2018, and therefore has a deep understanding of its business and the industry dynamics.
“In Better Collective we have known Mikkel for a long time, through our investor relations work, and have always been impressed with his knowledge of Better Collective’s business, the trends driving our industry and not least his deep understanding of the dynamics of the equity markets,” said Better Collective CFO Flemming Pedersen.
“In our management team we are convinced that Mikkel’s professional skills and personality is a perfect match for Better Collective and our ambition to further build strong relations to our external stakeholders.”
Better Collective earlier this month acquired esports brand Futbin and all related domains for a total price of up to €105m ($114m). The addition will see the digital sports media group’s esports portfolio reach 100 million monthly visits, with a further diversifying of revenue due to Futbin’s main income coming from adverts and subscription sales.
