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 TCS John Huxley 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 out of FSB’s San Jose office, the Englishman will be responsible for continuing the upward momentum that we’ve enjoyed in the region. Fluent in Spanish, and with a solid grasp of French, Portuguese and Italian, Charnock’s brief will be to leverage our award-winning technologies and services among potential partners in Central and South America as well as the Caribbean.

Charnock will work closely with our Chief Revenue Officer, Ian Freeman and Rest Of World Business Development Director, Rob Wheeler.

Commenting on the appointment, Freeman said: “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. His philanthropic work in the territory was something we took into account when bringing him on board, as our new project with Rubik Talent suggests, we share similar values to David’s outlook. 

Latin America offers tremendous potential for a forward-thinking, challenger organisation 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 David closely as we aim to build on this momentum and cement our reputation as one of the fastest growing global platform providers.”
