Mateusz Juroszek, known for his involvement in the iGaming sector as the founder of Betplay Capital and Chairman of ATAL SA and STS SA, has been nominated to join the Board of Directors at GiG Media.
The final decision on his appointment will be made during the company's general meeting in May 2024.
Having held a significant stake in GiG since July 2023, the Juroszek family's investment vehicles have been the largest shareholders in the company.
Recently, the MJ Foundation FR – owned by Juroszek's family – acquired an additional 100,000 shares of GiG, bringing their total ownership to 19,424,518 shares (equivalent to 15.06% of the company's overall shares).
Regarding his new spot on the board, Juroszek stated: “My family's involvement in Gaming Innovation Group has been long-standing and long-term. We see great potential in this company and in the industries in which it operates.
“As investors, we specialise in the iGaming sector and we constantly strive to increase our shares in the most promising entities. Therefore, we are constantly looking for opportunities to increase our shareholding in Gaming Innovation Group.
“I believe my experience both as an investor and as a manager of the largest bookmaker in Poland will contribute to even faster and more effective growth of GiG Media, a company dealing with the media and affiliate part of the current Gaming Innovation Group.”
GiG also saw further change to its management team with the appointment of Matthew Saxon as Chief Technical Officer in late 2023.
