PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has appointed Hugo Baungartner as General Manager LatAm to accelerate its continued success across the region.
Baungartner will be responsible for driving PG Soft’s commercial expansion across Latin America while leading the games provider’s strategy in Brazil, where the company has already captured a significant share of the market.
Brazil continues to enjoy strong growth and is entering a pivotal phase in the regulation of its gaming sector, with the latest election on the horizon. With more than 29 years of experience in technology and gaming, Baungartner has previously held leadership roles at Grupo Aposta Ganha, RCT Gaming, Prohards and, most recently, Esportes Gaming Brasil.
During his time in the industry, Baungartner has built an extensive network across Latin America’s regulatory landscape, forging strong relationships with key regulators, industry associations and public bodies, including Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA/MF), the Federal Revenue Service, and COAF, as well as Mexico’s Dirección General de Juegos y Sorteos and AIEJA (the Mexican Gaming Association).
PG Soft’s continued support of major regional events, including its sponsorship of BiS SiGMA South America earlier this year in São Paulo, further highlights the company’s long-term commitment to Brazil and the wider Latin American market.
Commenting on his appointment, Hugo Baungartner, General Manager LatAm at PG Soft, said:
“PG Soft’s brand needs no introduction in Latin America thanks to its extensive portfolio of world-class, mobile-first games that resonate strongly with players. The company is only just getting started in the region, and I look forward to building on its success in Brazil while expanding PG Soft’s presence across regulated markets throughout Latin America.”
