Kambi Group has announced the appointment of Werner Becher, formerly of Sportradar, as its new chief executive (CEO).

Becher will take over as CEO at Kambi on 25 July, the day after the group publishes its Q2 results. He is replacing the long-serving Kristian Nylén, whose departure was confirmed in January, after leading the supplier since it was spun off from Kindred Group in 2010.

An experienced executive, Becher joins Kambi having most recently served as CEO for EMEA and LatAm at Sportradar. He spent over three years with the business before stepping down in December 2022.

During his time with Sportradar, Becher also had a spell as managing director of its US-facing betting arm.
