Frankfurt-listed casino bet-at-home has announced the appointment of two new members to its Supervisory Board. The leadership changes follow the recent sale of Banijay Group’s stake in the company, a move tied to Banijay’s broader acquisition of the Tipico Group.
The transaction prompted the departure of two key board figures: Banijay Group CEO François Riahi and Betclic Chief Financial Officer Véronique Giraudon. To fill these vacancies, the operator has appointed Raffaela Zillner and Dominik Beier, both of whom bring specialized industry experience to the board.
New Strategic Expertise
Raffaela Zillner joins from pharmaceutical giant Merck Sharp & Dohme, where she serves as a Public Affairs Manager. Her background in legal frameworks is seen as a strategic asset for the operator.
“Dr. Zillner has a degree in law and specific knowledge and experience in the field of betting and gambling, which is relevant for the business activities of the bet-at-home.com group,” the company noted in its official statement.
Dominik Beier, currently the Chief Commercial Officer at crypto-trading platform Bitpanda Group, brings extensive digital leadership experience to the table.
“Mr Beier has held various senior and executive positions, including managing director roles, and has extensive experience in the field of online business, which is beneficial for the bet-at-home.com group as an online provider,” the statement added.
Transition of Power
The reshuffle marks a significant transition for bet-at-home casino as it adjusts to a new shareholder structure. The company expressed gratitude to the outgoing members, Riahi and Giraudon, for their service during their tenure. Meanwhile, Martin Arendts has been confirmed to remain in his position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board, providing continuity during this period of corporate governance changes.
