Oddsgate is pleased to announce the appointment of Tiago Almeida as its new CEO, where he takes the lead of a team of over 60 collaborators at a crucial time for the company, which is focused on the expansion and consolidation of its operations in Brazil and new markets.
Tiago Almeida's appointment took effect immediately after the presentation of a new strategic plan during an internal event held on August 9. The reception was extremely positive, with employees demonstrating confidence in Tiago's abilities to lead the company into a new cycle of growth and success.
International Expansion and Strengthening in Brazil
The strategic plan aims to expand Oddsgate's presence in emerging markets such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America (LatAm - Hispano America) and to further strengthen its operations in Brazil, mainly in segments moving towards regularization.
The pillars of this plan include organic growth and strategic acquisitions, continuous development of human capital – always highly valued by the company – technological innovation, and a solid commitment to positive impact, social responsibility, and integrity.
Therefore, it is a movement to maintain a path and commitment that has been followed since the beginning. Well-defined purposes guide it and it has excellent potential for generating value for all its stakeholders.
The moment was also opportune to present, listen to, and reinforce the role of other major names in the management of the B2B Platform:
* Pedro de Matos - Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
* Gabi Pitileac - Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)
* Óscar Madureira - Chief Legal Officer (CLO)
* Lusia Barseghyan - Chief Operations Officer (COO)
* Wagner Fernandes - Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
* Nuno Jerónimo - General Director
These leaders were chosen based on trust and market navigation experience, deep knowledge of the group and its clients, and strategic business vision.
18 Years of Experience in iGaming
Tiago Almeida began his career in the gaming industry in 2006. In 2010, he connected locally with South American operators and saw a great opportunity. With the right conditions and support, he believed Brazil could become one of the largest iGaming markets in the world.
Upon moving to the country, he acquired vast experience across various platforms and their challenges, providing invaluable learning. He founded and led a company in the sector, serving as CEO from 2017 to 2020. During this period, he played a crucial role in the development of the company's platform and the growth of the Brazilian market.
At the same time, Tiago founded a company specializing in licensing services for gaming operators looking to explore opportunities in Latin America. He quickly established himself as one of the leading authorities in regulated markets, compliance, and regulatory processes, both in B2B and B2C environments.
Under his leadership, this company thrived in the growing Brazilian market, with Tiago providing strategic consultancy to major players like Esportes da Sorte, Pixbet, galera.bet, and F12.BET, among others.
Now, Tiago brings to Oddsgate his vast knowledge in product development, regulated markets and compliance, customer relations, team leadership, and market dynamics, which he has accumulated over years of diverse experience.
