Morten Tonnesen Assume como CEO Interino da Bragg Gaming Após Saída de Matevž Mazij

Bragg Gaming Group named Morten Tonnesen interim chief executive officer after Matevž Mazij stepped down from the post. The leadership change took effect on November 6, 2026. Tonnesen had served as chief operating officer since joining the iGaming content provider earlier this year.

Tonnesen assumes responsibility for day-to-day operations and reports directly to the board of directors. Matevž Mazij transitions to strategic advisor and will provide guidance to the board and stakeholders during the handover. The company completed the acquisition of Drayton International earlier this year.

Leadership Profiles Shape the Transition

He co-founded BetWarrior, spent six years at PokerStars, served as chief commercial officer of Shape Games and held the role of chief growth officer at Xtremepush. His background includes creating and exiting businesses plus building teams that operate at scale.

Matt Davey, chair of Bragg Gaming Group, noted that Matevž Mazij founded Oryx before its merger into Bragg. Mazij led the company through a challenging period. Davey stated that the board welcomed Mazij’s continued involvement as advisor.

Execution Priorities Define Next Phase

Matt Davey said the board’s focus for the next phase is on disciplined execution, improving balance sheet strength, operating cash flow, and development and deployment of market leading technology, content and services. He added that Morten Tonnesen possesses the operational experience to deliver against those tests and that the Board has full confidence in him.

Morten Tonnesen said he joins at a fantastic time for Bragg’s business and applauded its current position and geographical footprint. His stated focus is execution, delivering for operator partners and running a simpler and more focused business. He thanked Matevž Mazij for support through the transition and for what he has built.

The transition occurs months after Bragg Gaming Group appointed a new chairman. No further details on the search for a permanent CEO have been released.
