Tiago Almeida Named CEO of Oddsgate

Oddsgate is pleased to announce the appointment of Tiago Almeida as its new CEO. He assumes leadership of a team of more than 60 employees at a crucial time for the company, focusing on expanding and consolidating its operations in new markets.
Tiago Almeida’s appointment came into effect immediately after a new strategic plan was presented during an internal event on August 9th. 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—Hispanoamérica) and further strengthen its operations in Brazil, mainly in segments advancing 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’s 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 to generate value for all its stakeholders.
The moment was also opportune to present, listen to, and reinforce the role of other big names in the management of the B2B Platform company:
- 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 Manager
These leaders were chosen based on their confidence and experience in navigating the market, their deep knowledge of the group and its customers, and their strategic business vision.
18 years of experience in iGaming
Tiago Almeida began his career in the gaming industry in 2006. In 2010, he connected with South American operators locally and saw a great opportunity. With the right conditions and support, he believed Brazil could be one of the largest iGaming markets worldwide.
Upon relocating to the country, he acquired a wealth of experience in diverse 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 developing the company’s platform and growing 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 has thrived in the growing Brazilian market, with Tiago providing strategic consultancy to major players such as Esportes da Sorte, Pixbet, Galerabet, and F12.BET, among others.
Now, Tiago brings to Oddsgate his vast knowledge in product development, regulated markets and compliance, customer relationships, team leadership, and market dynamics, which he has accumulated over years of diverse experience.
A new challenge
“I am thrilled to embrace this significant challenge in my career and eager to contribute to this exciting new strategic phase at Oddsgate. We aim to become the leading global technology collaborator for elite wagering and gaming operators. We are committed to delivering a more secure, enthralling, and pleasurable wagering and gaming experience in regulated markets, an experience that will foster responsible industry practices, thus ensuring sustainability. That’s why I am proud to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer at Oddsgate. Assuming this fresh position at Oddsgate is not just an honor but also an incredible chance.”, declared Tiago.
He adds, “Together with our talented team, I am dedicated to setting new standards within the iGaming sector. I pledge smooth functioning while upholding uncompromising levels of regulatory adherence and partner support. I am excited about working with the skillful team at Oddsgate and our global partners.”
