Abios elects co-founder Anton Janér as new MD

Kambi esports subsidiary Abios has announced the company’s CTO Anton Janér as the new Managing Director, stepping up to replace outgoing CEO Oskar Bonnevier Fröberg.

Under the leadership of Fröberg, Abios has grown significantly since its initial inception in the last decade, reaching a high level of prominence in the esports scene. 

Fröberg also navigated the company through the acquisition by Kambi Group in 2021, ensuring that the process goes smoothly. 

Fröberg said: “It is with mixed emotions that I have resigned as CEO of Abios. This decision has not been an easy one, as I have dedicated more than 10 years of my life to building and leading this organisation together with Anton. 

“However, we could not have found a better home for Abios than Kambi nor could I have found a better successor than Anton, giving me every confidence that Abios will only flourish moving forward.”

Having co-founded Abios alongside Fröberg in 2013, Janér brings an extensive knowledge base in technology and a deep understanding of the esports scene – with his CTO role driving Abios’ esports solutions forward. 

Janér added: “I am honoured to take on the role of Managing Director and lead Abios into its next chapter. Oskar and I have had a lot of fun together throughout the years at Abios, building the company into the industry leader it is today. I am very excited about the future of Abios and eager to take the business to new heights alongside our excellent team.”

Janér’s transition to a Managing Director at Abios became effective from 1 May.
