(Madrid).- After nearly 18 years as Vice President of Zitro, Manuela Jiménez is retiring, leaving behind a legacy of more than 50 years in the gaming industry
The career of Manuela Jiménez has been defined by deep expertise, unwavering commitment, and a genuine passion for the sector.
Few professionals combine over five decades of industry experience with the same energy and dedication that Manuela brought to her role each day. Since joining Zitro in 2009, she played a pivotal role in solidifying the company’s position as a leading global gaming supplier.
The leadership transition has been carefully planned. Albert Zorrilla, who has served as General Manager for Zitro in Spain over the past year, has worked closely with Manuela and will continue leading the company’s Spanish operations with the same dedication to excellence she exemplified.
As Manuela steps away, she closes a meaningful chapter, leaving behind a stronger company, lasting relationships built on collaboration, and a Spanish gaming industry that has benefited immensely from her contributions. Grace, experience, and a genuine love for the work—this is how Manuela Jiménez shaped her legacy, one worth celebrating
“Manuela has been with me since we started this venture, and I honestly can’t imagine Zitro without her,” said Johnny Ortiz, Founder of Zitro. “She’s put her heart into this company every single day. Her experience, judgment, and ability to connect with people are qualities that cannot be replaced. We’re going to miss her tremendously.”
“I’ve watched this company grow from the very beginning, and being part of the Zitro family has been absolutely rewarding,” said Manuela Jiménez, former Vice President of Zitro. “As I say farewell, I do so with immense pride in what we’ve accomplished, knowing Zitro is in excellent hands.”
