Internet Vikings is well-known for providing premium hosting and related services to the online gaming industry. Led by Peter Ekmark, a seasoned iGaming professional, the company has attracted several prominent industry experts to its management team. In January, Karin Thunholm from Casumo Group joined Internet Vikings to assume the role of CFO. Now Kristoffer Ottosson, Director of IT & Infrastructure Engineering at Evolution (formerly NetEnt), is joining the company to become Head of Hosting Services.
Kristoffer has been working in the hosting and infrastructure industry since 2007. During 2013-2014 he worked with Availo as Operations Manager but also as acting CEO for their Norwegian office. When IP-Only acquired Availo in 2014, Kristoffer took on the role as Manager for Hosting Solutions for IP-Only, currently known as Global Connect. In 2016, he joined NetEnt, and thus the iGaming industry, and has been working with the IT, Infrastructure and hosting solutions ever since.
“Internet Vikings provides one of the best hosting solutions in the iGaming Industry and has been growing steadily for a number of years. I’m really happy about the opportunity to work with such a reputable company and will be working across the verticals with other passionate colleagues. I firmly believe my knowledge of the industry combined with product and tech know-how will help to scale up the offer to customers, thus taking the next step in growing together. I’m really excited to be joining this great company with a solutions-oriented culture and can-do attitude,” says Kristoffer.
Peter Ekmark, Internet Vikings’ CEO, comments: “It is with great pleasure that we welcome a highly-skilled new leader to our ever-growing team of experts as the Head of the Hosting services division of Internet Vikings. Kristoffer is a seasoned specialist in the hosting and iGaming sectors with an impeccable track record and will undoubtedly prove to be an invaluable asset as we surge forward and expand our global reach. We can expect innovation, passion and refined iGaming hosting solutions under his well-earned leadership.”
Internet Vikings has been focused on iGaming as its main and primary market for years providing bespoke hosting solutions. The company’s vast network of data centres located in industry-wide, strategic locations ensures minimal latency to key markets. By adding professionals like Kristoffer to its hosting department, Internet Vikings is cementing its position as the leading iGaming hosting provider.
