GGTech hires new CPO and Head of Global Sales to boost its international expansion
GGTech Entertainment, an international company dedicated to the organisation and management of products related to entertainment, technology, gaming and esports, has appointed two new members to strengthen its global expansion.
Eduardo García Riaño has been appointed Chief Product Officer to lead the global expansion of the group’s product areas into new territories.
García Riaño, who holds an MEng in Aerospace Engineering and an MRes in Economics and Management of Innovation, joins from technology giant Amazon, where he was Global Head of Sponsorships in esports and gaming. He was responsible for developing the company’s global strategy in more than 17 countries across 4 continents.
In García Riaño’s words: “I am privileged to have the opportunity to join GGTech as Chief Product Officer. Thanks to its excellent team, GGTech is now one of the companies with the best global projection in the esports & gaming segment. I deeply identify with the company’s business approach, values, and future objectives.
“GGTech has become a company that makes a difference through constant innovation. I want to emphasise our passion for developing disruptive projects in the leisure, entertainment, and education sectors, using cutting-edge technologies and creating interactive environments that inspire and empower people”, said Riaño.
The second hire is Cristina Carranza as the new Head of Global Sales, to strengthen the group’s expansion and open up new markets, focusing on the United States. GGTech has signed an agreement to promote Riot Games university esports competitions in the US.
The company’s growth and expansion into new territories in esports and gaming in recent months has led GGTech’s management to boost its global business development strategy. Following her time at Amazon and Twitch, Cristina Carranza joins the international team headed by Eduardo García Riaño.
On her appointment, Cristina said: “I have been working with GGTech for more than four years, and I admire its business strategy, the great human quality of their team and their vision for the company. This makes it a world leader in entertainment, gaming and esports. I am proud to be part of this project and to develop the global sales and business strategy.”
The UAE, the Arab world’s second-biggest economy, wants to attract global gaming businesses and support local talent. Leading this effort are Abu Dhabi Gaming, with its attractive incentives, and the Gaming Centre in Dubai.
The addition of Eduardo García Riaño and Cristina Carranza will provide GGTech Entertainment with the strategic vision and operational skills to capitalise on their extensive experience in the esports and entertainment industries.
