Driving digital transformation and technology strategy
Allwyn AG has strengthened its executive team with the appointment of Fredrik Ogren as Group Chief Technology Officer. Reporting directly to Kresimir Spajic, CEO of Allwyn Digital, Ogren will take charge of shaping and delivering the company technology strategy. His primary objective is to create a more connected and efficient technology ecosystem that supports group growth, reinforces regional markets, and elevates the overall customer experience.
Ogren joins Allwyn following a five year tenure as Chief Technology Officer at Betsson Group, where he led corporate technology strategy, managed the evolution of large scale platforms, and supported international expansion across multiple regulated markets. His expertise in driving large scale technology transformations will play a pivotal role in accelerating Allwyn digital ambitions. He will work closely with teams across central functions and local markets to foster innovation and enhance platform capabilities.
As part of this leadership realignment, Brett Cross, who previously served as interim CTO, transitions into the newly established position of CTO Global Lottery and Deputy Group CTO, reporting directly to Ogren.
