Allwyn has appointed Fredrik Ögren as Group Chief Technology Officer, the company said on 6 October 2026. Ögren has joined from Betsson Group, where he was chief technology officer for the last five years.
He will report to Kresimir Spajic, CEO of Allwyn Digital. Allwyn said Ögren will be responsible for the group's technology strategy, with the aim of building a more connected technology ecosystem across its markets.
At Betsson, according to Allwyn, Ögren led technology strategy, oversaw large-scale platforms and supported international growth across several regulated markets.
Brett Cross, who had been interim CTO, moves into a newly created role: CTO, Global Lottery and Deputy Group CTO. He will report to Ögren.
Why it matters
The appointment ends an interim arrangement in Allwyn's technology function. The company has also added a layer to the structure, with a deputy group CTO who also holds the global lottery technology brief. The announcement did not give a start date for Ögren beyond saying he has joined, or any terms of his contract.
