ESR Group appoints Doftvik, Nall and Delin as non-executive directors

ESR Group has appointed Philip Doftvik, Gary Nall and Jonas Delin as non-executive directors, completing its newly formed board, the company said today.

The new NEDs are Philip Doftvik, CEO at Qtech Games and a former director at LeoVegas; Gary Nall, founder of PlayBook and former Entain MD; and Jonas Delin, co-founder of Avanti Studios and former founder of Authentic Gaming (acquired by Light and Wonder ).

ESR said the board will support its leadership team across “people (recruitment/HR), transformational growth, GTM strategy and execution, M&A and investment”. The company operates ESR Talent, focused on executive search and embedded HR functions, and ESR Solutions, which provides strategic, investment and M&A advisory services.

Luke Imeson, co-founder and CEO of ESR Group, said: “This incredibly powerful combination of strategic minds and innovative thinkers is a fantastic boon to our already rapidly growing business. While I don’t like to brag, I truly think we’re set to make a huge difference to iGaming businesses worldwide, particularly in areas of executive search.”

Nall said: “I got to know Luke and Helena last year and found them both to be dedicated and genuine: two vital qualities in recruitment. When asked to join their board as a NED, it was an easy ‘yes’ – as working with people of their character ensures I’ll make a meaningful difference.” Delin added: “I’ve worked closely with Luke and the ESR team for the past seven years. What truly sets them apart in a very crowded space is their genuine focus on solving problems big and small, rather than simply chasing fees.” Doftvik said: “We partnered with the ESR team to launch and scale our new tech hub in Malaga from ground zero. Their service was highly strategic and had a positive impact on the growth of our organisation. Excited to now join them as a NED to contribute towards elevating their business”.

ESR Group was founded in 2023 by Imeson and co-founder Helena Scone, and works with iGaming, fintech and tech startups and scale-ups, according to the company.
