Company Announces CFO Change
Rivalry has also announced that Demi Abidogun-Benson will assume the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer effective August 16, 2024, replacing Kejda Qorri in the role.

Prior to joining Rivalry in February 2022, Demi was the Director of Finance at Swash Digital and spent more than ten years with Deloitte Canada working across the UK, Southeast Europe, and Canada.
“Kejda has been an integral member of our team since day one, leading the charge on our financial management strategy, public listing, and many other key initiatives across the Company,” said Steven Salz, Rivalry Co-founder and CEO. “We deeply respect her decision to transition out of her role in order to spend time with family, and on behalf of the entire team, we wish Kejda all the best in her future endeavors. I’m also very excited to have Demi, a long-standing and key member of our finance team, step in as Interim CFO where I’m confident she will succeed.”
“It has been a pleasure to serve as Rivalry’s CFO and work alongside one of the most talented teams in the gambling industry,” said Kejda Qorri. “I have a tremendous amount of confidence in the brand, its leadership team, and look forward to watching them grow. I also want to congratulate Demi who will be stepping in as Interim CFO.
