High Roller Technologies has appointed Seth Young to CEO, effective September 1, as current CEO Ben Clemes will step down from the position to “devote more time to his family,” but has worked closely with Young to ensure a “smooth transition” once the hire goes into effect.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as High Roller’s CEO, and my decision to step away comes at a time when the company is healthy,” Clemes said.
“I’m proud of what we have accomplished together and I’m confident that Seth is the right leader to guide High Roller forward. I’m looking forward to focusing more on my family while knowing that the business is in strong hands.”
