Mr. Clemes, who has served as CEO since 2024, is stepping down from his role to devote more time to his family. Under his leadership, High Roller achieved a long list of accomplishments, and Clemes leaves the company well-positioned for its next chapter of growth.
"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," said Clemes. "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."
Mr. Young, who previously served as Chief Strategy Officer at High Roller, has been working closely with Mr. Clemes and the leadership team to ensure a smooth transition. He brings more than 20 years of experience in gaming to the role, and is recognized for his vision, operational discipline, and leadership.
"I want to thank Ben for his dedication, his achievements, and his thoughtful approach to this transition," said Young. "Because of his leadership, the Company is positioned for growth and success, and I'm excited to continue building on the foundation he built to drive future growth and value for our shareholders, employees, and customers."
The Board of Directors expressed its appreciation for Mr. Clemes' tenure as CEO and his contributions to the Company's success.
"Ben has been an outstanding leader who guided High Roller through critical growth phases and positioned the Company for long-term success," said Michael Cribari, Chairman. "We are grateful for his service and for ensuring a seamless transition. We're thrilled to welcome Seth to the role of CEO with full confidence in his ability to lead High Roller into the future."
Prior to joining High Roller, Young served as Chief Innovation Officer at PointsBet where he was responsible for strategic corporate development efforts including fundraising, partnerships, government and regulatory affairs, product development, M&A initiatives, and more. Young previously served as Chief Operating Officer at FSG Digital, Executive Director of Online Gaming at Foxwoods Resort Casino, and other executive roles throughout his career. Young currently serves on the board of directors for Kinectify, EQL Games, and Kindbridge Behavioral Health.
