FSB, the progressive U.K.-based sports betting & iGaming platform provider, has strengthened its position in the fast-growing Latin America market with the appointment of industry veteran David Charnock as business development manager for the region.
Charnock is a seasoned gaming industry executive with 30 years of global experience, including over a decade of boots-on-the-ground involvement in Latin America. He has previously held senior roles at TCSJohnHuxley, and joins FSB after eight years of building his own businesses in social enterprise, digital marketing and philanthropy in the region. His latest project involved setting up a foundation working with homeless addicts on the streets of San Jose in Costa Rica.
Based in FSB’s San Jose office, Charnock will be responsible for continuing the upward momentum that the provider has enjoyed in the region. Fluent in Spanish, and with a solid grasp of French, Portuguese and Italian, Charnock’s brief will be to leverage FSB’s award-winning technologies and services among potential partners in Central and South America as well as the Caribbean.
Charnock will work closely with the organization’s chief revenue officer, Ian Freeman, and Rest Of World Business Development Director Rob Wheeler.
“David’s experience and deep understanding of the LatAm market will be a huge asset for FSB as we bid to continue our momentum in the region,” Wheeler said.
“Latin America offers tremendous potential for a forward-thinking, challenger organization like FSB, and David will help us drive our technologies and services in the region to allow operators to deliver the best possible experience to their players. Our increased presence in LatAm is another indicator of our growing global footprint in what has been a fast-paced exciting year at FSB.
“I look forward to working with him closely as we aim to build on this momentum and cement our reputation as one of the fastest growing global platform providers.”
“I am delighted to be joining such an innovative, exciting company making a major play in Latin America,” said Charnock. “FSB’s ambitions are there for all to see, and I’m excited to be playing a key part in their LatAm journey.
“I am looking forward to leveraging my network of contacts in the region and to help build on the established relationships FSB has in the region to truly showcase their market-leading products and services.”
