Former Klarna Global Head of Finance Joins Executive Team to Drive Global Growth and Profitability
Avanti Studios has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Jonas Ericson as its new Chief Financial Officer. Ericson makes the transition following a six-and-a-half-year tenure at payments company and bank Klarna, where he advanced from Financial Transformation Lead to Global Head of Finance.
In his new role, Ericson will oversee financial strategy, operations, analysis, investment, and risk management, while ensuring strict compliance and profitability as the company scales. His arrival follows the recent appointment of Steven Tabone as Commercial Director.
Executive Insights
Jonas Ericson, Chief Financial Officer at Avanti Studios, commented on his move:
“Making the switch from an established company like Klarna to an exciting start-up is always a big decision, but when I spoke to Gustaf (Hagman) and Jonas (Delin), I was completely sold on their vision. No one in the live casino space is even attempting the ideas that Avanti Studios has already implemented, and I’m looking forward to using this position to grow the brand’s profitability and global impact as CFO.”
Gustaf Hagman, Co-Founder at Avanti Studios, added:
“Avanti Studios is delighted to welcome Jonas Ericson as its Chief Financial Officer in a move that will further strengthen our C-Level team at a crucial stage of development for the company. Jonas joins our organisation having already accrued a wealth of experience in new product implementation, strategic and operational development and senior management, making him the ideal fit to build our brand going forward.”
This announcement comes amid a major structural reshuffle period for Avanti Studios, after the studio announced the appointment of Steven Tabone as its Commercial Director in July 2026.
