Patrick is an important insider who is well-versed in the company’s inner operations. He has worked closely with the financial department, executive team, and the board of directors, and is familiar with the company’s ethos and shared goals.

I am very pleased that Patrick has agreed to take on the role as Interim CFO at Kindred. Patrick knows Kindred very well and has a vast experience from the financial sector, and he will continue to bring great value to Kindred’s financial operations, to the wider Executive Team, and to the Board as we continue to focus on the strategic review.

Previously, Maris Catania, a leader in responsible gambling, announced her leave from the company.  The Group, though, has been able to continue and deliver strong results. Recently, the Group was nominated as a top employer in Sweden, holding the distinction for a second year in a row.

Although the company has been projecting strength, it is also facing a small exodus of top-level executives without any further clarifications. The Group is also said to be looking to sell parts of its business, but no further information has been made public regarding this as well.
