Relax Gaming names Kirsten O’Neill as new finance chief

Casino aggregator and games provider Relax Gaming has promoted Kirsten O’Neill to the role of chief financial officer (CFO).

O’Neill joined the supplier as director and group finance manager in February 2021, having previously worked at both NetEnt and Yggdrasil Gaming as a key member of their finance teams.

She takes over as CFO from Markus Kruk, who has held the position for nine years and will now move into the role of chief corporate development officer, where he will focus on exploring new product verticals and strategic partnerships.

“We are delighted to announce Kirsten as Relax Gaming’s second-ever CFO,” said Relax Gaming CEO Martin Stålros. “She has been a pivotal part of our team for some time and has a fantastic reputation as someone that can be trusted to help us towards our next major milestones as we enter our latest chapter. I am thrilled to see her take the next step of her journey as she genuinely deserves this opportunity.

“I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Markus for his outstanding efforts as CFO. We both joined the business around the same time, and he has been instrumental to the journey Relax Gaming has taken as a company. I look forward to his continued journey as chief corporate development officer, and to working together closely in his new role.”

Commenting on her promotion, O’Neill said: “I could not be prouder to take the next step in my career and become CFO at Relax Gaming. This is a special company that has played a huge role in my development over the last several years.

“I am truly excited to continue all of the great work that Markus has achieved ensuring that we are sustainable as a business and I look forward to what lies ahead.”
