Thunderkick names Ariadna Ölund as Account Manager for Latin America
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has appointed Ariadna Ölund to its Stockholm team to support commercial growth across Latin American markets.
Thunderkick, the independent casino game studio based in Stockholm, has appointed Ariadna Ölund as Account Manager to help drive its Latin American expansion.
Ölund joins the company’s headquarters in Stockholm before travelling to SBC Lisbon within weeks of starting, where she is expected to meet prospective clients and partners in person.
Her appointment follows that of Andrea Brioschi last year and continues Thunderkick’s push to diversify its workforce as it tailors products for specific regional markets. Ölund brings a background in marketing, having previously held roles as PR Communications Manager and Marketing Communications Manager. Born in Barcelona and now based in Stockholm, she also brings Spanish-language skills to the role.
LatAm focus
Thunderkick entered the Latin American market in the second quarter of 2023 with a launch in Mexico through Rush Street Interactive’s Rushbet brand. Ölund’s role will focus on building relationships with operators in regulated markets including Mexico, Colombia and Paraguay.
Svante Sahlström, Chief Commercial Officer at Thunderkick, said the Latin American region remained a key focus for the company’s commercial growth and that Ölund was expected to play an important part in that expansion.
Ölund said she was looking forward to building relationships that would help extend Thunderkick’s international presence.
Founded in 2012, Thunderkick employs more than 80 staff and develops casino content distributed via its own Remote Gaming Server. Its titles, including Midas Golden Touch, Pink Elephants and Esqueleto Explosivo, are available with operators such as bet365, William Hill, LeoVegas, 888 Casino, Mr Green, PokerStars Casino, ComeOn, Unibet and Betsson.
