Svenska Spel has announced that Amäni Radwan has accepted the position to serve as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Sweden’s state-owned gambling and lottery firm.

The appointment sees Radwan promoted from her current role as Head of Group Finance, in which she oversaw the audit and financial controls of Svenska Spel’s operating units and divisions.

Radwan will take over the role of CFO from 1 July onwards as a new member of Svenska Spel’s executive team. She succeeds incumbent Eva Stoppel, who will step down after six years as CFO to focus on board assignments in other organisations, but will remain in the role until 14 July 2025 to ensure a smooth handover.

Group CEO Anna Johnson underscored the significance of Radwan’s promotion succeeding Stoppel: “We would like to thank Eva for her fantastic work and valuable contributions as CFO of Svenska Spel. The strength of Eva’s leadership is evident not least in the fact that we have been able to recruit her successor internally. We wish Eva good luck with the next step” .

Johnson added: “Amäni is a valued leader within Svenska Spel and, in addition to solid financial expertise, also has business focus and strategic understanding. Amäni will also be able to contribute valuable experience in business development and change management”

Radwan was noted to have proven her capacity as CFO during a year of corporate transitions for Svenska Spel, in which the group continued to reorganise its operations and shut down its Casino Cosmopol division.

Despite undertaking significant adjustments, Svenska Spel announced a successful close to 2024 trading, with Q4 operating profits returning to SEK 535M (€47m).

Taking on the role of CFO Amäni Radwan, added: “I am very proud of the trust and happy to have the opportunity to drive change together with the rest of the group management with a focus on our business. Svenska Spel is a company that does a lot of good for society, and we are at an exciting stage with a new strategy in place.

I look forward to continuing to work to achieve our goals of having the most satisfied customers in the gaming market, ensuring that all customers play responsibly with us and for sustainable growth.”
