etEnt has begun the search for a new chief executive after the
removal of Per Eriksson. The games developer’s board acted after deciding, according to a statement, that the performance of the Group “has not been as it should”. The move comes a month after NetEnt announced Q4 results that failed to match revenue and profit targets. Chief financial officer Therese Hillman has been appointed acting CEO, with NetEnt looking for a new leader who can secure long-term growth for the company.
