Esports tools and data company Abios announced this week that it has appointed Chief Technology Officer Anton Janér as its new managing director, effective immediately. Janér takes over for long-time CEO Oskar Bonnevier Fröberg, who is stepping down to “pursue new endeavors,” according to a release. In case you didn’t know, Janér co-founded the company alongside Fröberg in 2013. Janér officially assumed this leadership role on May 1.
“It is with mixed emotions that I have resigned as CEO of Abios,” said Fröberg. “This decision has not been an easy one, as I have dedicated more than 10 years of my life to building and leading this organization together with Anton. However, we could not have found a better home for Abios than Kambi nor could I have found a better successor than Anton, giving me every confidence that Abios will only flourish moving forward.”
Owned by Kambi Group plc, Abios provides “data-driven odds and widgets” related to the top esports properties in the regulated betting industry. The company provides historical and stream-live data from popular esports titles, such as Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, Valorant, and Dota 2, to sportsbooks, search engines, esports teams, and others.
In April, Abios signed a long-term partnership with Paris-based esports organization Team Vitality. Its other partners include Dragoni, GRID, Pinnacle, Microsoft, Natus Vincere, Unibet, Tipsport, LeoVegas, and JustWatch.
