Thunderkick, the slots development studio, has announced the appointment of Svante Sahlström as its new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) as the company prepares for its move into the Canadian province of Ontario.
Sahlström has more than a decade of experience in the gaming industry and has held a variety of management positions, including Head of New Markets at ELK Studios.
Additionally, Sahlström has worked in the iGaming payment sector and has gained six years of client-facing experience working for payment solutions companies such as Zimpler and Trustly.
The first big event for Sahlström as a representative of Thunderkick will be the ICE trade event next month. The company wants to introduce him to existing customers and create new connections with potential Ontario clients.
It’s an honor to be joining Thunderkick as its Chief Commercial Officer at such a pivotal and exciting time for the company, and I’m thrilled to be able to contribute to its mission. I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running, especially with ICE just around the corner, and focusing on delivering best-in-class customer service that I believe will set us apart from other providers. This year is set to be full of substantial growth and success for Thunderkick, and I’m excited to help drive that.
