Super Technologies Adds Four Household Names in Leadership Shakeup

(AsiaGameHub) –   Super Technologies has unveiled a major overhaul of its senior leadership, appointing new executives to its board and management team with an emphasis on technology and artificial intelligence.

A key appointment sees Mina Dimitrova named Chief Strategy Officer, tasked with leading organic growth, venture incubation, AI transformation, and mergers and acquisitions. Dimitrova arrives with a career history in strategic and operational leadership at Google, YouTube, and McKinsey & Company.

In another move, Sergio Ezama has joined as a Non-Executive Board Member and Chair of the Remuneration Committee. Currently the Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, Ezama offers deep expertise in leadership, talent, and compensation strategy, having formerly held the role of Global Chief Talent Officer at PepsiCo.

Furthermore, ex-Amazon executive Andrew Watts assumes the position of Chief Product Officer. Watts contributes over twenty years of experience in digital commerce, platform development, and AI.

He played a key role in scaling Prime Video at Jeff Bezos’s US behemoth and joins from his most recent role as Senior Vice President of Product Management at Zalando.

Completing the new hires, Olatz Urroz comes on board as Chief Financial Officer. Her professional background features senior finance and strategy positions at Banco Santander and Amazon, including CFO and SVP roles at Santander’s global payments division, PagoNxt.

This leadership restructuring also involves the exit of former CFO Glyn Hughes, who is returning to Hellen’s Rock Capital – a strategic investor in Super Technologies.

Throughout his three years with the company, Hughes managed significant refinancing and expansion projects, while also reinforcing its financial discipline and operational framework.

Sacha Dragic, Founder and CEO of Super Technologies, expressed his welcome to the new team members and acknowledged Hughes’s work in a LinkedIn post.

He stated: “Thank you Glyn Hughes for all great help in Superbet and welcome back to Hellen’s Rock Capital.

“Thank you Sergio Ezama for your trust in what we are trying to achieve and I am honoured you accepted to join our board and chair our RemCo.

“And finally a huge welcome to Olatz Urroz Mina Dimitrova and Andrew Watts. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together.”

Super Technologies to push on despite regulatory pressures

This leadership renewal occurs during a period of regulatory shifts in the company’s home nation of Romania, where it holds a leading market position through its Superbet division.

In March, the Romanian government responded to the sector’s growth by revising gambling laws, empowering local authorities to shut down or limit betting shops and gaming arcades.

Addressing this, Borut Petek, Chief Global Affairs Officer at Super Technologies, informed SBC News: “We do not support blanket closures of retail venues, and we do not see forced substitution from retail to online as good policy.

“Our position is not retail versus online. Our position is legal versus illegal.”

Nevertheless, the firm has continued to advance, even as competition and regulatory scrutiny intensify across Romania and Europe. In February, it bolstered its Romanian standing by acquiring Maxbet Online.

Super Technologies has also recently entered Greece as its fifth European market with the launch of Superbet, and last year it obtained a €1.3bn (£1.1bn) refinancing deal with alternative asset manager Blackstone for 2025.

The wave of high-level appointments, with each new leader possessing substantial experience from globally recognized brands, indicates the company remains proactive and is aiming to modernize in anticipation of a potentially challenging period for the gambling sector.
