Jesper Kärrbrink has resigned as chief executive of Svenska Spel, one week following the installation of Margareta Winberg, a prominent Social Democrat, as chair of the state-owned operator.
"It has become clear lately that my ideas about how Svenska Spel should be run don't agree with the image held by the owners," Mr. Kärrbrink said in a prepared statement carried by The Local, an English-language, Sweden-based online daily newspaper.
