EveryMatrix has appointed Jonas Groes as co-CEO to take on the role with effect from 1 January 2026.
Groes is the brother of company co-founder and co-CEO Ebbe Groes and brings experience from across technology, finance and policy having spent over 11 years with EY. This includes the past nine and a half years as a partner of the business’ Nordic Consulting practice.
Prior to this, Groes worked for the European Regions Research and Innovation Network. He also spent time with the South Denmark European Office and worked in local government in his native Denmark.
In addition, for the past two and a half years, he has chaired Management Rådgiverne, a Danish-facing organisation for management-consulting businesses.
Groes backed to help EveryMatrix reach ‘ambitious’ targets
Groes said joining EveryMatrix – alongside brother Ebbe – was a “dream come true”.
“What [games CEO] Stian Hornsletten and the rest of the team have built is nothing short of phenomenal,” Groes said. “I’ve seen close hand just what it takes. We work well together and our differences and combined strengths complement one another. I can’t wait to get started.”
Ebbe Groes said the appointment would support long-term growth plans at EveryMatrix.
“As the company’s growth continues, tripling our headcount in the last five years, and as we work with more of the largest gaming brands and lotteries, I needed to find someone who knows what it takes to scale a business and reach the ambitious targets we have for the next five years,” he said.
“Doing this means I will have more time to work on strategy and execute all the things we want to do to become a global top three tier-1 technology provider by 2030.
“To share a CEO position requires complete trust at both personal and professional level. Jonas is the perfect candidate. I know he will go on to do amazing things at EveryMatrix.”
Earlier this year, Ebbe Groes spoke with iGB about the provider’s expansion strategy. This included the acquisition of UK-based betting and iGaming platform FSB last July and the purchase of Fantasma Games later in the year.
