After starting his career as Senior Auditor at Ernst & Young, Öhman then went on to working with Deloitte. He took his first CFO role in April 2011, at Bactiguard AB, before joining Handicare Group as Finance Director in August 2014.

He undertook his current job at Upplands Motor in Setpember 2016, overseeing a turnover of $647.7m.

So, why have Betsson acquired Öhman for the success of the company? That’s down to their previous CFO, Kaaren Hilsen, leaving the company in September to become CEO of Swedish Telecoms provider Telenor.

Öhman will probably become a success at Betsson, given his previous record at many different companies.
