The Mill Adventure appoints Cristina Grigore as Chief of Staff

Technology-focused platform provider The Mill Adventure (TMA) has appointed Cristina Grigore as its new Chief of Staff.

Ms Grigore, who has more than 15 years of experience in technology and iGaming environments, has held several senior people leadership roles throughout her career. She has spent the past four years at TMA, where she has played a central role in shaping the organisation’s culture and supporting its rapid growth.

In her new role, Ms Grigore will work closely with the executive team to drive strategic alignment across the organisation. The Chief of Staff position has been introduced to help TMA navigate its next phase of expansion by streamlining decision-making, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring key strategic initiatives progress effectively.

TMA, headquartered in Malta, described the role as sitting “at the intersection of strategy, operations and execution,” designed to help the company maintain clarity, cohesion and pace as it grows.

Her promotion follows two other recent senior appointments at TMA: Gerardo Prieto as Chief Information Security Officer and Bjørnar Heggernes as Chief Commercial Officer, reflecting a broader strengthening of the company’s leadership structure.

Speaking about her appointment, Ms Grigore said: “With this appointment, TMA is reaffirming its stance as a career building organisation: a company that enables people to grow in accordance with their ambitions.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to step into the space where strategy is built. I welcome the challenge of making direct impact on the business direction and inherently, the future of an inspiring company like The Mill Adventure.”

Dario Arruda, Co-founder and CEO at TMA, added: “Cristina has been a driving force behind our culture, one that values authenticity, collaboration and curiosity as much as it does innovation and performance.

“Her strategic acumen and deep understanding of organisational dynamics have been instrumental in helping The Mill Adventure evolve from a startup platform company into a cohesive, high-performing organisation. As Chief of Staff, Cristina will play a pivotal role in steering our next phase of growth, fostering alignment and turning complexity into opportunity.”
