Therese Hillman, NetEnt’s former CEO, announced her departure from the company on the 28th of February in a post published on her LinkedIn profile. She was appointed CEO in May 2018, giving her just shy of three years’ tenure in the position with the online casino gaming provider; the decision was effective immediately. The announcement comes after Evolution Gaming acquired NetEnt in December of 2020 in a sale worth over $2bn.
In her farewell post, Hillman noted that the company had its fair share of ups and downs in the years since she began:
I would lie if I would say that my three years as the CEO have been easy and fun. It has truly been a challenge from day one and a lot of tough decisions had to be made.
After Evolution’s purchase of NetEnt was completed, the company began a total integration and organisation of the game supplier. The plan at that time was to work with Hillman for a few months to ensure the transition was as smooth as possible before she moved on to new opportunities. This is just the next step in the journey to new management and greater heights for the slots giant.
NetEnt looks to the future after Hillman’s departure
For their part, Evolution has announced plans to expand NetEnt and shared their belief that the merger will help drive the innovation and digitisation of the casino gaming industry. The move will capitalise on the growing popularity of online gambling and allow the supplier to gain a foothold in new markets while continuing the release and development of wildly popular titles. Indeed, this evolution is made clear by its recent launch of Divine Fortune Megaways in the US. Between Evolution’s live casino expertise and NetEnt’s slots success, the future is a bright one for the organisation.
As for Hillman, she has high hopes for NetEnt as she reflects on the recent sale: “Now, our group has been integrated to (sic) Evolution and is in the best of hands. I am excited to see how the business will continue to develop and I am also looking forward to see the product innovations that will be offered to operators and players around the world!”
