In his new role, he will oversee Better Collective’s European sports media brands, in a move the affiliate group said “aims to enhance the company’s leading position in the European market and deliver high-quality sports content to a broader audience through multiple media channels.”
Prior to his role as editor in chief at bold.dk, Schrøder held several sports-related editorial roles at companies including the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, tabloid newspaper Ekstra Bladet, and TV channel TV3 Sport.

Schrøder will also develop overall editorial guidelines and content strategies for Better Collective, in close cooperation with its brands’ local teams, the company added.
