(NASDAQ: GDEV), an international gaming and entertainment company (“GDEV” or the “Company”), announces changes to its Board of Directors and executive leadership team as part of its ongoing strategy to enhance operational efficiency and support its global growth ambitions.

Olga Loskutova, who has served as an Independent Director on GDEV’s Board since 2022, will be stepping down from her position on the Board of Directors to assume the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) of GDEV.
