“He’s a brilliant strategic thinker and is exactly what we need in the region to take our business to the next level.”
Commenting on his new role, Manuel Jimenez, added: “My family’s business was lottery distribution when I was growing up so I’ve always been close to the industry, but poker is definitely one of my passions. As a result, working with EvenBet will be very exciting.
“Having the certification of the online poker platform for Colombia facilitates decision-making by our clients throughout the Latin American region, where we have solid relationships achieved by years of successful commercial development in the iGaming space.”
