Change of CFO in Unibet Group plc
After five successful years as Chief Financial Officer of Unibet Group, Graham Stretch has decided to step down from his position 31 March 2016. After an extensive search process involving both external and internal candidates, Graham will be replaced by Albin de Beauregard, currently Head of Internal Audit within Unibet Group. To ensure a smooth transition, Graham will continue to be available in an advisory capacity to support the Group on strategic projects following this change.
“I would like to thank Graham for his contribution to the successful development of the group in the last five years and I am grateful that he will assist a smooth transition for Albin”, says Henrik Tjärnström, Unibet CEO.
Albin de Beauregard joined Unibet Group in 2011, when the group acquired Eurosportbet where Albin was Chief Financial Officer. Other positions Albin has held within the Group have been Chief Financial Officer France, Strategic Finance Projects Manager and most recently Head of Internal Audit.
Albin de Beauregard holds a Master’s degree in Finance and Accounting from Ecole Supérieure de Commerce et de Management, a French ‘Grande Ecole’. He began his career in 2004 in the Bouygues Group, a French diversified group in construction, media and telecom, working in investor relations for the publicly listed media subsidiary TF1. In 2007, he became Investment Manager at Serendipity Investment, a private equity fund owned by Bouygues and Artémis (holding company of the Pinault family). In 2009, he joined Eurosportbet to take responsibility of the finance department as CFO.
“I am very pleased that Albin will take over as CFO as he has got in depth knowledge of the Group and has proven himself and delivered excellent value in the various roles he has had within the Group since joining in 2011”, says Henrik Tjärnström.
