Daniel Lindberg founded QuickSpin in 2011 together with Mats Westerlund (NetEnt) and Joachim Timmermans (Kindred). Before QuickSpin he worked in top positions in a variety of fields with NetEnt – such as Sales & Marketing Director as well as Head of Product Management. Daniel started his career in iGaming back in 2006 and signed many of NetEnt's customers back in the days and produced the classic Gonzo’s Quest. In 2016 they sold QuickSpin to Playtech and two years after that both Mats and Joachim went onto other ventures. Today QuickSpin is just over 100 people, with three offices Stockholm, Sweden, Malta and Kiev. Daniel is a very inspirational leader and is great at pushing towards bigger things as well as listening into and knowing the organization not forgetting about the people behind it and trusting people's abilities. Daniel is a passionate FIFA player and he is definitely a sore loser and perhaps a bit of an ungracious winner…
