Malta-Based iGaming Affiliate Group Restructures Leadership to Navigate Evolving SEO and AI Landscape in 2026
Malta-based iGaming affiliate group Dilanti Media has initiated a top-level leadership transition, with founder and Chief Executive Officer Johan Styren stepping up to become Chairman. Daniel Prado, who has served as the company’s Head of SEO for the past two years, has been chosen to succeed Styren as CEO.
Founded by Styren in 2018, Dilanti Media views the transition as a vital step in its business development. While Prado takes charge of day-to-day operations, performance monitoring, and execution of strategic directives, Styren will focus on long-term strategy, including identifying new business areas, products, and growth opportunities.
The leadership shift comes as affiliate businesses navigate an industry landscape transformed by the impacts of artificial intelligence on SEO and traffic in 2026. Prado brings extensive industry experience to the role, having previously held senior SEO positions at Aphex Media, EBET, Gaming Innovation Group (GiG), and Catena Media.
Executive Perspectives
Johan Styren, outgoing CEO and incoming Chairman of Dilanti Media, commented:
“I am delighted to welcome Daniel as the new CEO of Dilanti Media. I have great confidence in his ability to lead the company into its next phase of development. His experience, leadership and vision make him well suited to take on this responsibility, and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together.”
Daniel Prado, newly appointed CEO, added:
“I’m grateful for the trust Johan and the board have placed in me. Dilanti Media has a great team and a strong foundation, and my priority is to build on it by strengthening our core business, improving how we execute, and growing into new areas.”
