Former Kindred CEO Nils Andén will take charge of FDJ’s new online division, following Kindred’s integration into the French gaming giant.
Andén, who has led Kindred since May 2023, will become the group’s new chief online betting and gaming officer.
In this role, he will lead the firm’s online betting and gaming business unit, which is responsible for all FDJ’s sports and horse-race betting, poker, and online casino operations.
The company said: “FDJ Group’s acquisition of Kindred creates a European champion with a diversified, balanced profile, underpinned by businesses under exclusive rights — chiefly the lottery in France and Ireland — and businesses open to competition in the European online betting and gaming market.”
