Superbet founder Sacha Dragic has returned to the company as Co-CEO, marking a leadership shift. After stepping away from the role for five years, Dragic will now lead the company alongside Jimmy Maymann, who was appointed CEO earlier this year.
The leadership changes at Superbet also include the appointment of Sameen Jalal as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Albert Simsensohn as Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Andrei Dusu as Chief Product Officer (CPO). The new leadership team has been tasked with accelerating the company’s growth plans as it continues to expand its presence in key markets.
Commenting on Dragic’s return, Maymann said: “This has been a year of significant growth in our journey to becoming a product-led company. Our regional strategy is accelerating at pace, as market leader in Romania, number one brand in Belgium, very strong growth rates in Poland, and pursuing a podium position in Serbia.”
“However, alongside the growth we see in our Brazil operation there is a more global set of opportunities that we will capture. It’s clear that Sacha will bring a game-changing impact in returning to the business to help us to move faster to the next phase of our growth,” he added.
Superbet has been expanding its footprint through various partnerships, including a recent collaboration with Greentube that enhanced its offerings in Latin America. As the company continues its regional dominance in Romania, Belgium, and Poland, it is also aiming for growth in Brazil and other international markets.
Dragic stated: “At Superbet we have always planned many horizons ahead with ambition and I’m pleased to see the progress and speed with which the team have been growing and scaling the business to meet this ambition.”
“The opportunities ahead of us, however, are significant and so it was the right time to return to the business and also to further strengthen our leadership team with global platform and scaling experience,” he added.

Hans-Holger Albrecht, Chairman of the Board at Superbet, expressed confidence in the new leadership team, stated: “In Superbet we always stretch for more, and after considering all of the opportunities we have ahead of us, it was obvious for me that we should strengthen our leadership team even further.”
“Working closely with Sacha and Jimmy, I’ve seen that they are a powerful combination, which, alongside the rest of our leadership team, will help us to deliver our global ambitions even faster and more efficiently. I’m delighted with the appointments of Sameen, Andrei, and Albert who each bring exceptional global platform experience and capability to our leadership team.”
