I didn’t got down to work in gaming.

I grew up in Norway and realised early on that I needed to push myself past what I felt I might obtain regionally. That led me to Australia for varsity — and finally to Malta, following somebody I met alongside the way in which.

That’s the place I stumbled into the trade.

I began in customer support, and it was top-of-the-line methods to know what really issues, listening to instantly from clients day by day.

From there, issues moved shortly. I went from a customer support position to a senior management place over a couple of years, and that momentum carried into alternatives at bodog, bet365, and later as a CEO position at Lucky7.

When I used to be 18, I set a purpose for myself: to grow to be a CEO earlier than 35. I ended up getting there via a path that was something however linear — totally different international locations, totally different roles, and a number of studying alongside the way in which.

What’s stayed constant is the mindset. Push your self into uncomfortable environments. Stay near the shopper. Take calculated dangers.

That’s finally what led me to DraftKings Inc., a spot with actual ambition, sturdy platform foundations, and a crew that’s centered on constructing best-in-class experiences for patrons.

Funny how a couple of choices early on can form every little thing that comes after.
