Software development company Sportingtech has today announced the appointment of Latin American industry expert Javier Samel as the group’s new head of business development for the region. This news comes as Sportingtech continues its efforts to expand into the Latin American market.
“Samel is a respected and senior professional and was the perfect fit to help grow the company’s recently re-purposed and re-branded omni-channel Quantum platform, which is currently being certified in a string of markets across the continent,” said Sportingtech CEO Ivo Doroteia. “Javier is a great addition to the Sportingtech family, and we are looking forward to combining his expertise with our team’s experience and products. I’m sure his inputs will enrich the collaborative debates during collective decision-making processes for LatAm. He is in a privileged position to utilize his extensive market knowledge, to work with existing clients in the region, and develop our Quantum platform in the region, as well as provide a springboard into new business relationships.”
Prior to taking on this role, Samel has worked in the Latin American gaming market for over 10 years, first founding and serving as COO of Spignol.com and then as operations manager at Grupo Boldt. Since then he has worked as a consultant for sports betting and gaming platforms across Argentina, Colombia and Peru.
Sportingtech’s platform consists of modular sports betting and casino software that allows operators to add specific services to their offerings. The technology, named Quantum, currently features 65 sports, 9,000 games as well as a content management system.
“I’m very excited about the opportunities opening up for a company like Sportingtech,” said Samel. “With a dynamic platform like Quantum, I am looking forward to working as the bridge between them and local operators.”
