The star-studded line-up includes senior leaders from Entain, LeoVegas and Authentic Gaming

(AsiaGameHub) –   Executive search and HR advisory firm ESR Group has today announced it has completed filling all positions on its board of directors.

The names added to ESR’s non-executive director (NED) roster include:

• Philip Doftvik – CEO of Qtech Games and former director at LeoVegas
• Gary Nall – Founder of PlayBook and former managing director at Entain
• Jonas Delin – Co-founder of Avanti Studios and former founder of Authentic Gaming (acquired by Light & Wonder)

These iGaming industry leaders will support ESR’s existing leadership team in developing solutions that address real-world challenges for sector executives, founders, and investors in areas such as talent acquisition and HR, transformational growth, go-to-market strategy and execution, mergers and acquisitions, and investment.

ESR Group consists of ESR Talent, which specialises in executive search and embedded HR services, and ESR Solutions, offering strategic, investment, and M&A advisory services.

Luke Imeson, co-founder and CEO of ESR Group, expressed his enthusiasm about welcoming these seasoned professionals and their expertise, stating: “This powerful blend of strategic visionaries and innovative minds is a tremendous asset to our already fast-growing business. While I’m not one to boast, I genuinely believe we’re poised to make a significant impact on iGaming companies around the world, especially in the realm of executive search.”

Nall remarked: “I met Luke and Helena last year and was impressed by their dedication and authenticity—two essential traits in recruitment. When invited to join their board as a NED, saying yes was an easy decision, as collaborating with individuals of their calibre guarantees I can contribute meaningfully.”

Delin added: “I’ve worked closely with Luke and the ESR team for the past seven years. What truly distinguishes them in a highly competitive market is their sincere commitment to solving both major and minor challenges, rather than simply pursuing fees.”

Doftvik noted: “We engaged the ESR team to establish and scale our new technology hub in Malaga from the ground up. Their approach was highly strategic and positively influenced our organisation’s growth. I’m now excited to join them as a NED and help advance their business further.”

Founded in 2023 by Imeson and co-founder Helena Scone, ESR Group enables iGaming, fintech, and tech startups and scale-ups to grow in a smart and sustainable way by identifying talent that aligns with their cultural and strategic goals.
