Stefan Thunberg appointed new Triggy CEO
He will assume the role from the previous CEO, Martina Åkerlund, who steps down after three years.
Stefan Thunberg has been appointed as the new CEO of Triggy, a B2B sports data company that supplies operators with odds and user insights.
As the company’s Co-Founder, Thunberg was with Triggy as far back as its earliest days in June 2017.
In a statement regarding the appointment, a spokesperson for Triggy said: “Triggy wants to extend a big thank you to Martina Åkerlund who during the last three years has worked hard as CEO to put Triggy on the map!
“Martina, who will take on a new challenge, will remain on the board of directors in Triggy and Co-Founder Stefan Thunberg will assume the role as CEO as Triggy moves into new business verticals and continues to scale.”
Prior to co-founding Triggy, Thunberg was the Head of Finance at Vera & John Casino, where he was responsible for managing the centralised finance department alongside the CFO.
He also worked on various IPO processes, such as setting up company structures, implementing internal systems and preparing for auditing.
While Vera & John Casino was undergoing its acquisition by The Intertain Group, Thunberg was part of the core mergers and acquisitions team.
Thunberg has also held positions in IGT as its Finance Manager, where he oversaw the finance departments in Stockholm, Tallinn and Malta.
On stepping down, Åkerlund said: “I couldn’t be happier for the opportunity I got to learn and try something new when I completely fell in love with the company and the gaming industry.
“Triggy is now in a great position as a scale-up and I will continue to support the company as a member of the board of directors.
“However, it is time for me to take on a new challenge within the industry and I could not be more excited – I will share more with you shortly.”
