Better Collective proposed adding Hillman as a member of its board of directors last month, and shareholders voted in favour of the motion at its annual general meeting earlier today (26 April).
Hillman, ranked as one of the industry’s most influential women by InnovateChange in 2019, stepped down as CEO of slots specialist NetEnt in March after its acquisition by Evolution.
Her journey with NetEnt began in January 2017 as chief financial officer, and she later became interim CEO in April 2018 before assuming the position on a full-time basis.
Aside from Hillman’s appointment, Better Collective shareholders approved the re-election of Jens Bager as chairman of the board of directors at the AGM. Additionally, Klaus Holse, Leif Nørgaard, Petra Von Rohr, and Todd Dunlap were reappointed as members of the business’s board.
Last month, Better Collective reported that merger and acquisition activities during the 2020 financial year contributed to a significant growth in revenue and profit. Revenue for the 12-month period ending on 31 December 2020 increased by 35.3% YoY to €91.2m (£79.4m/$110.2m), while profit rose by 57.6% to €21.9m.
