Vixio Appoints Christian Erlandson as New Chair of the Board
Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, today announced that Christian Erlandson has been appointed as Chair of the board. Effective immediately, Erlandson succeeds Gehan Talwatte, who served as Chair for the past two years. He brings a wealth of experience in executive leadership, strategy and innovation, making him a valuable addition to the company as it continues to pursue growth and long-term success.
“I am honoured to join Vixio as Chair and excited to contribute to the company’s continued success and growth,” said Christian Erlandson. “Vixio’s commitment to the RegTech space, combined with its innovative AI-driven platform that enhances data insights and streamlines workflows, positions the company as a leader in regulatory intelligence. I look forward to helping steer Vixio through this exciting period of innovation and expansion, delivering impactful solutions for our customers, future customers, and employees alike.”
Christian Erlandson brings over 30 years of senior leadership experience in the data and analytics sector, with a proven track record of driving growth and innovation. He has played key roles in high-growth companies and held prominent leadership positions, including CEO of Dun & Bradstreet UK, Managing Director at Thomson Reuters, Chief Commercial Officer at GfK, and CEO of Automotive Transformation Group. Throughout his career, Christian has led successful digital transformations, spearheaded product development initiatives, built high-performing teams, and leveraged data-driven insights to deliver exceptional results for clients.
Erlandson continues to serve as an advisor to Spotlio and currently holds the position of CEO at TNW (a Financial Times Company), reporting to the Financial Times Board. As a seasoned entrepreneur and CEO, Christian has a proven track record of driving transformational change in both scale-ups and well-established blue-chip organisations.
“We are delighted to welcome Christian to Vixio, and extend a heartfelt thanks to Gehan for his invaluable contributions to support Vixio’s expansion over the past two years,” says Mike Woolfrey, CEO Vixio. “Christian’s extensive leadership experience, strategic vision, and commitment to fostering innovation will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our position as a leader in the RegTech market.”
Vixio was acquired in December 2022 by Perwyn, a European private equity investor, to enhance and increase the product offering and geographic coverage whilst maintaining and enhancing its leading reputation as the go to provider for regulatory intelligence in both the payments and gambling market. In his new role as Chair at Vixio, Erlandson’s industry experience and leadership will support Vixio’s continued growth in the payments and space with new products being brought to market to deepen its existing portfolio, as well as its expansion into the wider financial services industry and into new territories.

Starburst Galaxy Ushers in NetEnt’s New Era
Starburst Galaxy, a sequel to the iconic Starburst that reshaped the online slot market, is propelling veteran NetEnt to new heights. The game takes players on a cosmic journey and launches NetEnt into the next phase of its evolution.
As players blast off into a stellar adventure with this dazzling sequel, NetEnt enters a new era. The revolutionary developer’s Phase 1 brought online slots to desktops without cumbersome downloads and allowed players to trial games through free play. Phase 2 brought players’ favourite slots to their mobile screens so they could play anytime, anywhere. Now, Starburst Galaxy stands as a testament to NetEnt’s new Phase 3, where many new features and mechanics await players.
Starburst Galaxy builds on the success of its predecessor, embracing NetEnt’s signature Avalanche™ mechanic, where winning symbols vanish, allowing new ones to fall into place and creating opportunities for consecutive wins from a single spin. Adding to the excitement, the new Feature Generator lets each win contribute to unlocking five dynamic features: symbol destroy, random wilds, expanding wilds, line transform, and symbol upgrade.
The Galaxy Star feature introduces a thrilling twist with an expansive 7×7 grid and a dazzling 3×3 Starburst Wild that activates additional wilds and unique features. Landing three scatters fires up the Mega Star feature, summoning a 2×2 Starburst Wild and introducing powerful multipliers throughout the round, while a retrigger remains possible by refilling the Galaxy Metre with each win.
An exciting new addition introduced in Starburst Galaxy, the Elevate Feature will be rolled out across all NetEnt slots moving forward. Elevate gives players the power to customise their gameplay by activating various game features and add-ons directly from a list, using base bet multipliers to enhance the experience. (The availability of the Elevate Feature varies by region.)
The new era of NetEnt will also feature upgrades across its product offerings, including new robust multi-level jackpots and more big wins through the GigaMath Model. Classic games will receive visual and UX enhancements, and new Speed Spins and Super Speed Spins options will allow players to play at their own pace. Additionally, operators can customise their own Starburst slot with the introduction of Starburst Brandable.
Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “This is a defining moment for NetEnt as we enter a new era with the launch of Starburst Galaxy. The game introduces innovative features, stunning visuals, and advanced technology while honouring the iconic classic that transformed the online video slot market. I’m incredibly proud of our team’s hard work—from the enhanced gameplay to the refreshed brand design, which marks another milestone and a new direction in NetEnt’s evolution. We’re excited for players to experience Starburst Galaxy, and this is only the beginning of what’s to come.”
