Following a decade with the company, plus a further period as a supplier, Martin Stålros has been appointed as CEO of Relax Gaming.
He replaces Simon Hammon, CEO at Relax since 2022, following three years as CPO. Simon will remain with the company until October, supporting the handover process and continued positive trajectory.
Over 15 years of industry experience has seen Martin’s positive contribution span from business development to operational leadership, driving growth and value throughout.
Patrik Osteraker, Chairman at Relax Gaming, says: “I am delighted to see Martin stepping up to the CEO role. He has been involved with Relax from the very early days and has had a material impact on the success of the company.
“As the business and organisation continues to mature and grow we feel that Martin has the ideal profile needed to support and guide us on our ambitious growth trajectory.
“The Board and I also wish to extend a heartful thank you to outgoing CEO, Simon Hammon, who has been absolutely instrumental in building Relax to the position we are in today. We wish him all the best in life and in his new projects.”
Simon Hammon adds: “Martin is the natural choice to take the reins at this pivotal junction following my decision to move on. Having proudly invested the past five years in Relax’s outstanding growth journey, it is safe to say that I wholeheartedly believe in and will always cherish the company and team within it.”
Martin Stålros, CEO, concludes: “Having the opportunity to step up as CEO after seeing the company grow from 30 to 350 people during my time as COO is tremendously exciting. I am humbled by the task, and it is the strength of the team that surrounds me, which makes me even more motivated about the challenge.
“My predecessors have built a stable ship and my close working relationship with both Patrik Österåker and Simon Hammon has given me great insight. My aim is to combine their strengths with my own to drive Relax Gaming into further growth as we continue to expand to new markets and embrace opportunities.”
