Daniela Forsgård returns to Paf as a Member of the board
Daniela Forsgård joins Paf as a new Member of the board, succeeding Birgitta Eriksson who has held the position for many years. She joins Paf from Optinova, where she served as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), but she began her career at Paf as Group Controller in 2007. The following year she became Paf’s Head of Finance.
“It feels great to be back, it almost seems unreal,” says Daniela Forsgård, Member of the board.
She worked as Head of Finance at Paf for six years before being recruited by the Optinova Group. At Optinova, Daniela worked as CFO for nearly a decade before deciding to start her own business. Today, Daniela Forsgård works as a CFO consultant.
“Paf has changed and it is not the same company it was ten years ago, but the market is not the same either. It will be interesting to sit on the board and see how Paf operates today”
Paf’s strengths are clarity and honesty
With extensive experience from international companies, group management roles and finance, Daniela looks forward to tackling new challenges.
“It’s impressive to see how well prepared Paf has become to enter various markets. Paf’s strengths are clarity and honesty. It is an experienced company, and we will ensure that we are also financially prepared for a licensed Finnish market,” says Daniela Forsgård.
As CFO at Optinova, she also served as the board’s secretary and worked closely with Paf’s current Chairman of the Board, Jan-Mikael von Schantz, when he was chairman of Optinova.
“I appreciate Jan-Mikael’s approach of working on boards, so the decision was easy when I was asked if I was interested in a board position at Paf.”
“I look forward to meeting both new and familiar faces at Paf,” says Daniela Forsgård.

BETBY TO INTRODUCE INDUSTRY-FIRST AI-BASED FEED AT ICE BARCELONA
BETBY, a premium provider of innovative sportsbook solutions, has announced that it will unveil an industry-first artificial intelligence (AI)-driven feed at the upcoming ICE Barcelona. This unparalleled feature harnesses the power of AI to create odds for unique and otherwise unavailable special markets, such as those related to movies and TV series, offering operators exciting ways to boost player engagement.
Developed by BETBY’s award-winning AI Labs solutions, this cutting-edge feed enables the creation of unlimited and highly customizable markets tailored to custom events, fully aligned with operators’ preferences. It offers unmatched capabilities in responding to partner requests and delivering localized content, setting a new benchmark for unique content creation in the sports betting industry.
The system first creates markets based on publicly available information about what to expect in relation to specific events. Then, it automatically filters out markets to find the tradeoff between markets which appeal to a certain audience and what traders can work with.
“This AI-based feed represents a significant leap forward in what we can offer to our partners. By combining the efficiency of AI with the oversight of expert traders, we’re delivering a system that ensures reliability while opening up new, creative markets no one else is offering. It’s just the beginning of what we envision as a transformative journey for the sportsbook industry,” explained Danil Emelyanov, Head of BETBY’s AI Labs. “At this stage, our AI uses up to 1000 virtual agents simulating player behavior, each with varying levels of access to information. These agents analyze, judge, and select outcomes to place bets, providing a robust dataset from which probabilities and odds are generated.”
BETBY invites operators to explore this unique AI-driven solution at booth 5J18 during ICE Barcelona. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with BETBY’s team, including their newly announced global brand ambassador Magnus Carlsen, the best chess player in history, and discover the company’s solutions and services.
