Roman Syrotian, who held the co-CEO position since 2021, will remain a Member of the Supervisory Board, while Chief Finance Officer and Chief Revenue Officer will become Deputy CEOs.

For the past two years, Parimatch Tech – a holding company developing software and solutions for the entertainment and betting industry – has been operating with Roman Syrotian and Maksym Liashko working side by side as the co-CEOs. Starting from April 1st, 2022, Roman Syrotian will be focusing 100% of his time on the Supervisory Board activities, while Maksym Liashko becomes the Parimatch Tech CEO.

Syrotian will be dealing with strategic aspects of the business, shareholder relations, and resources allocation. Liashko will continue to handle most of the operational tasks of the holding company. Anna Motruk, who held two roles before the management restructuring (Chief Finance Officer & Deputy CEO), will leave her CFO position to focus on the Deputy CEO role. Evgen Belousov, ex-Chief Revenue Officer at Parimatch Tech, has also been appointed as Deputy CEO.

“War impacts the fates of people and the fates of companies. The changes in the top management structure and move to the single CEO model will allow us to become even more flexible, and speed up the operational and decision-making processes. I am confident that Maksym and the team are ready to lead Parimatch Tech during these tough times! I will continue my work in the company in a non-operational role as a member of the Supervisory Board.”
Roman Syrotian, Member of the Supervisory Board at Parimatch Tech.

“In times of war, the structure and development procedures within the company had to be reviewed and adapted to the new reality. With Roman refocusing all his attention and skills on the Supervisory Board activities, I am certain that Parimatch Tech will withstand these difficult times and continue to be a successful global business. I would also like to congratulate Anna Motruk and Evgen Belousov on their appointments as Deputy CEOs. Their skills and knowledge shaped Parimatch Tech into what it is today – a successful international business – so together we will ensure that Parimatch Tech continues to grow and attract success.”
Maksym Liashko, CEO at Parimatch Tech.

Evgen Belousov, Deputy CEO at Parimatch Tech.

“The war showed us that going beyond our formal responsibilities and being open-minded is key to ensuring the company’s success and stability. That’s why building cross-functional teams within the company will be an important element of our business going forward. Flexibility and resourcefulness are crucial elements of overcoming any challenges, and I am certain that the future holds a lot more victories.” – Anna Motruk, Deputy CEO at Parimatch Tech.

Fast-growing software provider Swintt has revealed this week that Etienne Azzopardi has stepped into the position of Interim Managing Director as the company persists in reorganizing its C-Level team after the exit of former CEO, David Mann.

Etienne joined Swintt as Director of Operations in August 2021 and advanced to Chief Operating Officer in February 2022. Over the past four-and-a-half years, he has managed operational oversight, product roadmap enhancement, market licensing, and game certification for the provider, positioning him perfectly for the interim role.

Throughout that period, Etienne has overseen the management, coordination, and optimization of numerous product deliveries and new client launches, while also leading a significant geographical expansion for the company, as Swintt entered its 13th regulated market in Italy last summer – an impressive milestone for a provider that just started in 2019.

In his new role as Interim Managing Director, Etienne will still oversee operations for Swintt in all these crucial areas, while also steering the direction of Swintt’s future product strategy, continuous market expansion efforts, and team growth strategies moving ahead.

Given that this aligns closely with Etienne’s established area of expertise, Swintt believes that the former COO will eagerly embrace the extra duties associated with the new position and offer reliable guidance to navigate the company through its upcoming growth phase.

Etienne Azzopardi, new Interim Managing Director at Swintt, said: “I’m very excited to be appointed as the Interim Managing Director at Swintt and hope I can repay the trust the company has shown in me by continuing the excellent work we’ve done over the past few years.

“Under David Mann, Swintt grew from an innovative start-up to a software provider sought after for its portfolio of high-quality games with a far-reaching distribution across 13 regulated markets globally. In my new role, I fully intend to build on these strong foundations by helping the company expand its portfolio, grow our reach with new commercial partnerships, and make our content available in additional key markets – cementing our legacy in the industry as we enter the next phase of our evolution.”
