Tipico Restructures Senior Leadership in the Company

The appointment of Hefer to the role of CEO is one of several changes to key personnel at Tipico. The outgoing CEO, Joachim Baca, has moved to the role of Chairman of the Supervisory Board to serve on the board of the company.

Senior leadership at Tipico thanked Joachim Baca for his eight years of service as the operator and listed his achievements which included, leading strong growth over his tenure and developing Tipico into a recognized brand in its jurisdiction. Additionally, he helped guide the provider's compliance policy and saw the company gain its sports betting license in Germany.

The focus on regulatory compliance has led to Tipico achieving iCAP accreditation earlier this year.

In recent years, Tipico has evolved from a startup to the definitive market and technology leader in sports betting in Germany. I am eager to continue this success story with the Tipico team and the owners. Together we are committed to providing sports fans with the best and most secure betting experience, extending our market leadership, and achieving additional sustainable growth.
