Changing of the guard: Unibet Group’s CFO, Novomatic comms director stepping down

A flurry of resignations and passing of torches marked the end of the year for some companies in the online gambling industry.

First up is Unibet Group’s Graham Stretch, who announced on Monday that he is stepping down from his position as chief financial officer—a position he’s held for five years—effective March 31. But the company said Graham will still be around in “an advisory capacity to support the group on strategic projects.”

Stretch will be replaced by Albin de Beauregard, currently Unibet Group’s head of internal audit. De Beauregard joined the company in 2011 after the group acquired Eurosportbet where he was the chief financial officer.

De Beauregard, who has a Master’s degree in Finance and Accounting, began his career in 2004 working in investor relations for Bouygues Groups’ publicly listed media subsidiary TF1. In 2007, he became investment manager at Serendipity Investment, and then joined Eurosportsbet in 2009.
