Christian Polsäter, Director of Sports at LeoVegas, is set to depart the company after eight years of service.
He began his journey with LeoVegas in 2017 as Sports Manager for the Swedish market and, within a year, was promoted to Head of Sportsbook. In that role, he eventually took on responsibility for the entire group’s sportsbook operations. After spending the last four and a half years as Director of Sports, Polsäter has announced his decision to pursue a “new challenge,” though he has not yet disclosed further details.
Christian Polsäter, Director of Sports at LeoVegas, mentioned:
Now, it’s time for me to say goodbye to an amazing company. I’ve loved (almost) every second of the ride and am incredibly grateful for everything I’ve learned along the way. Too many people to thank individually, but a special shout-out to my managers, closest team members, and all the other talented and passionate colleagues across all offices who made this such a memorable time.
LeoVegas has been a fantastic place to grow, and I’m proud to have been part of the Sportsbook team through some exciting times. As the company enters a new chapter with its own proprietary sportsbook, I’m confident it’s in great hands. I wish all my former colleagues at Leo the very best, both professionally and personally. I’m leaving with unforgettable memories and friendships I’ll always value.
Following MGM Resorts’ acquisition of the company in 2022, it appears a wave of executive transitions is firmly in motion.
Meanwhile, the operator recently revealed the launch of its own proprietary sportsbook in Denmark, signaling a broader shift in strategic direction. Gambling Insider explored this development in more detail in a recent edition of GI Friday.
