The former Betsson CTO will report to Allwyn Digital’s chief executive, while Brett Cross moves into a new global lottery technology role.
Reviewed by iGaming News Desk
Allwyn announced on 6 October that Fredrik Ögren had joined as group chief technology officer. He will report to Kresimir Spajic, chief executive of Allwyn Digital, and take responsibility for the group’s technology strategy. [1]
The appointment also changes the role of Brett Cross, who had been serving as interim group CTO. Allwyn said Cross will become CTO, Global Lottery and deputy group CTO, reporting to Ögren. That gives the group a named technology chief alongside a dedicated global lottery role, rather than continuing the interim arrangement. [1]
Ögren joins from Betsson Group, where Allwyn says he spent five years as CTO overseeing technology strategy and large-scale platforms. Allwyn describes his remit as building a more connected technology ecosystem across its markets and central functions, with platform capabilities and customer experience among its priorities. Those are stated responsibilities and objectives; the appointment announcement does not establish that the intended improvements have been delivered. [1]
Gambling.com’s coverage, marked updated 6 October, noted that Allwyn had not supplied a separate start date or specific roadmap changes. The original announcement says Ögren has joined, but gives no separate timetable for changes to platforms or supplier relationships. [1] [2]
