Avanti Studios has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of former Klarna executive Jonas Ericson as Chief Financial Officer, marking the company’s second major C-Level hire in recent weeks.
Avanti Studios, a software supplier combining motion capture technology with real-time cloud-based streaming for live casino, has named Jonas Ericson as its new Chief Financial Officer.
The appointment follows the arrival of Steven Tabone as Commercial Director last month and forms part of Avanti Studios’ efforts to build a C-Level team capable of supporting its next phase of international growth.
Ericson Joins Following Six-and-a-Half Years at Klarna
Ericson moves to Avanti Studios after spending six-and-a-half years with international payments company and bank Klarna.
He initially joined Klarna as Financial Transformation Lead before progressing through the organisation and eventually becoming Global Head of Finance.
During his time at the company, Ericson held a range of responsibilities, including supporting Klarna’s expansion into new international markets and helping implement new FinTech products.
He was also involved in the strategic and operational development of accounting competence and led multiple teams within the company’s finance function.
New CFO to Oversee Financial Strategy
In his new position at Avanti Studios, Ericson will be responsible for the company’s financial strategy, operations and analysis, alongside investment and risk management.
His remit will also include helping ensure the business remains profitable and compliant as it continues its development.
Jonas Ericson, Chief Financial Officer at Avanti Studios, said:
“Making the switch from an established company like Klarna to an exciting start-up is always a big decision, but when I spoke to Gustaf (Hagman) and Jonas (Delin), I was completely sold on their vision. No one in the live casino space is even attempting the ideas that Avanti Studios has already implemented, and I’m looking forward to using this position to grow the brand’s profitability and global impact as CFO.”
Avanti Studios Strengthens C-Level Team
The appointment comes just weeks after Avanti Studios brought Steven Tabone into the business as Commercial Director, further expanding its senior management team.
Gustaf Hagman, Co-Founder at Avanti Studios, said:
“Avanti Studios is delighted to welcome Jonas Ericson as its Chief Financial Officer in a move that will further strengthen our C-Level team at a crucial stage of development for the company. Jonas joins our organisation having already accrued a wealth of experience in new product implementation, strategic and operational development and senior management, making him the ideal fit to build our brand going forward.”
