Scandinavian iGaming casino provider Hero Gaming announced the appointment of recognized executive Patrick Jonker as its new Chief Executive Officer. With over 20 years of experience within the digital entertainment industry and a solid history of success in managing international teams (he was Managing Director at Betsson, and then at William Hill International), Jonker will bring extensive knowledge to the business.
He has a true understanding about working in challenging and dynamic environments that require a strong focus on innovation and commercial success.
Georg Westin, Founder & Chairman of the Board, Hero Gaming, commented: “The combination of his experience, his leadership qualities and culture has made Patrick the ideal fit for us as a company for our next phase of growth. We very much look forward to having him in his new role.”
While Jonker declared: “I am very happy. I’ll use my experience to take the company into the next phase. The conversations that I have with the management team show the great ambition and most of all enthusiasm to expand the company. I am very much attracted to the agile way of working that is already in place.”
Founded in 2013 and with offices in Malta and Sweden, the company has launched successful brands, such as Casino Heroes, Boom Casino, Simple Casino and AmuletoBet (in June 2021 in Brazil). Particularly, AmuletoBet has rapidly engaged Brazilian players due to the hard work of Thomas Carvalhaes, Regional Director of Hero Gaming in Brazil and LatAm.
