A WORD FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholders,
As the new CEO of Embark Group, I am delighted to welcome you to my inaugural CEO letter.
With my extensive experience serving in executive roles, including my most recent role as CEO of CYG Pte. Ltd, I am enthusiastic and confident in leading the Company into its next phase of growth and expansion at Embark Group, in close collaboration with our highly capable management team.
To fully dedicate my efforts to this exciting opportunity, I have stepped down from my role as CEO of CYG Pte. Ltd, which will allow me to focus entirely on driving Embark Group’s success and future growth.
With this transition in leadership, I’m pleased to share that Embark Group has demonstrated strong business performance in the second quarter of 2024, marked by significant milestones and continued growth across our key markets. We continue to capitalise on opportunities as more operators integrate our games into their platforms, and this has translated into increased revenue, especially from Asia.
Building on our strengthened presence in Asia, largely driven by the 20% acquisition of CYG Pte. Ltd. in 2023, we have continued to leverage the synergies gained and expand our regional connections, resulting in increased revenue from technology development, maintenance, and consulting services. However, we also acknowledge that we still carry significant technology debt, which will require more time and careful planning to address before we can scale up. A key part of this strategy involves hiring the right people and ensuring they are placed in roles where they can excel—avoiding the mistake of putting a square peg in a round hole.
Stockholm, 23 August 2024
