Warrer, currently the CEO of GiG’s Media division, will shoulder dual responsibilities until the completion of the proposed split of the entities. Concurrently, Richard Brown will continue supporting the business in an advisory board position until the end of this year, when the former CEO will become Glitnor Group CEO.
Warrer joined GiG in September 2017 when the company acquired Rebel Penguin Aps, where he was a Founder and Managing Director. Over the years, he has dedicated his efforts to the growth of GiG Media and, in October 2019, he took on the role of Managing Director for the business unit.
Petter Nylander, Executive Chairman of GiG, says: “We are very pleased to appoint Jonas as acting CEO through the process of splitting GiG into two distinct entities to enhance future expansion and drive shareholder value, in addition to his role as head of GiG Media. He has long experience within GiG and the industry and has been part of GiG’s executive management for 4 years.”
Earlier this year, GiG initiated a strategic review with the objective of splitting the company into two entities: GiG Media and Platform & Sportsbook. With this strategic move, the company aims to propel the potential growth of the business units compared to the current structure.
In preparation for the forthcoming division, GiG appointed Richard Carter as the CEO of the Platform & Sportsbook division in August. During this transitional period leading up to the proposed split, Nylander will assume the role of Executive Chairman, while Brown, as a board advisor, will support the transition to Carter’s leadership.
