This year the quality and quantity of entries increased dramatically so all the winners had to work exceptionally hard to stand out from their competition. And congratulations to Sergey Portnov at Parimatch for being crowned Leader of the Year. It was well deserved.”
Parimatch’s Sergey Portnov was awarded the Leader of the Year Award after a very fruitful 2018. Portnov has managed to transform the company since his arrival in 2011 at the age of 23. He has also put much energy into switching Parimatch from offline to online focused, expanding Parimatch’s R&D department from 5 to 200 people in just a couple of years.
It was also mentioned that under Portnov’s leadership, the company has become a friendly team with shared estimations of solidarity, integrity, and duty, and moved towards a greater dimension of straightforwardness – both internally and externally. Portnov has also decentralized activities to provide more freedom and power to his regional teams.
Parimatch has come a long way in a short period of time. We are ambitious and want to continue to grow our brand and offer. These awards are a recognition of the hard work of all our staff and their belief in our vision for the business
