Thunderkick Appoints Ariadna Ölund to Strengthen Latin American Expansion

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has announced the appointment of Ariadna Ölund as its new Account Manager, a strategic move aimed at supporting the company’s growth in the Latin American (LatAm) market.

Ölund’s appointment reflects Thunderkick’s commitment to employee diversification and targeted market expansion. This follows the addition of Italian native Andrea Brioschi last year, as the company continues to tailor its product offerings to key regions.

Based in Stockholm, Ölund will initially work from Thunderkick’s headquarters before attending SBC Lisbon, where she will engage with prospective clients and strengthen relationships in person. With a background in marketing, including roles as PR Communications Manager and Marketing Communications Manager, Ölund brings valuable expertise and Spanish language skills to the team, crucial for expanding Thunderkick’s footprint in LatAm markets.

Thunderkick made its LatAm debut in Q2 2023, launching with Rush Street Interactive’s Rushbet in Mexico. The company has since grown its presence in the region, and Ölund will play a key role in forging relationships with leading brands in regulated markets such as Mexico, Colombia, and Paraguay.

Svante Sahlström, Chief Commercial Officer at Thunderkick, said: “We are excited to welcome Ariadna to the Thunderkick team. This region remains a focal point for commercial growth, and we have no doubt Ariadna will be pivotal in supporting our Latin American expansion.”

Ariadna Ölund, LatAm Account Manager at Thunderkick, added: “I am delighted to have joined such an innovative company in the industry and am looking forward to building relationships that allow Thunderkick to enhance its footprint on the global stage.”
