From 2015-to-2017 Sedigh served as the Inquiry Secretary providing guidance on the regulatory development of the government’s reform of the gambling laws – required to re-launch Sweden’s online gambling marketplace in 2019.

Prior to the marketplace’s relaunch, Sedigh has served as a senior policy advisor for gambling inspectorate Spelinspektionen.

SPER underlined Sedigh as the ideal candidate to lead its organisation, having worked across all legislative disciplines of Swedish gambling.

“We on the board are extremely happy that Maria will be the one to lead SPER further. She has a unique knowledge of the industry and I look forward to our collaboration,” said Patrik Hofbauer, chairman of SPER and CEO of Svenska Spel.

Sedigh will lead SPER as its members await for the Swedish government to finalise its “2nd phase” reforms of Sweden’s online gambling marketplace post its 2019 relaunch.
