Sacha Dragic assumes the role of co-CEO at Superbet, taking on joint leadership of the company he founded.
Hoppin' Back in the Game: Sacha Dragic Returns to Steer Superbet's Growth
Sacha Dragic, the mastermind behind Superbet in 2008, is making a comeback to lead the company after a brief stint as a board member post his ceo-ship departure in 2019. This shift at the executive level signals a major strategic move aimed at turbocharging Superbet's expansion.
Dragic's enthusiasm was evident as he echoed his commitment to push Superbet's growth. "Golf clap to the team for scaling the business like a boss, matching our ambition at Superbet," he beamed.
Immediate past CEO, Jimmy Maymann, who took over the reins in January, has been instrumental in the circuit since he succeeded Johnny Hartnett. Hartnett, former CEO for five years, brought about impressive progress, but with Maymann and Dragic onboard, the company is gearing up for a fresh wave of dynamics.
Maymann sees a bright future ahead, alluding to the transformative impact of Dragic's return. He highlighted that the new appointments will fortify the leadership team, speeding up the scaling process. "This is gonna be buck wild, folks! With Sacha back in, we're zoomin' to the next level faster than a rocket," Maymann remarked.
