His departure message also included a special thanks to LeoVegas CEO and Co-Founder Gustaf Hagman, commending Hagman’s leadership and thanking him for the opportunity to be part of the industry.
Before his impactful tenure at LeoVegas, Lindahl’s career encompassed significant roles outside the gaming industry, including Head of International Development at Gruppo DigiTouch and CEO at Optimized Group S.r.l., further underscoring his extensive background in marketing and international business development.
Under Lindahl’s marketing leadership, LeoVegas has not only cemented its position as a leading player in the online gaming industry but has also engaged in various charitable and responsible gaming initiatives.
Notably, the company participated in Malta’s largest annual charity telethon and supported Safer Gambling Week in the UK. Additionally, in December 2023, LeoVegas partnered with Pragmatic Play to enhance its live casino offerings, highlighting its commitment to offering top-tier gaming experiences.
As the industry looks ahead, Gustaf Hagman’s recent participation in a GI Huddle at ICE 2024 signals ongoing strategic dialogues and the potential for LeoVegas’s continued innovation and growth in the post-Lindahl era.
