Boldplay begins new chapter as CEO Valli Fragoso steps down
Boldplay has announced the departure of its CEO and Director, Valli Fragoso. The leadership change marks a significant transition as the company moves into a new phase under the ownership of Openbox Holdings.
Leadership change marks a turning point
After five years at the helm of Boldplay, Valli Fragoso has stepped down to pursue new opportunities. Her tenure has been instrumental in transforming the studio into a recognizable player in the iGaming industry.
During her leadership, Boldplay launched a series of successful titles, including Brute Force, Cam Carter and the Cursed Caves, Cyborg City, and Speed Heist, which gained strong traction among players.
Fragoso’s decision aligns with the broader strategic vision of Openbox Holdings, which acquired Boldplay recently. The leadership transition is expected to enhance the alignment between Boldplay’s operations and Openbox’s long-term commercial goals.
Boldplay’s rise in the iGaming sector
Established in 2019, Boldplay has rapidly built a reputation as an innovative and dynamic game development studio.
Its partnerships with tier-one operators such as ApuestaTotal, BetMGM, Grosvenor Casinos, and Sportingbet have solidified its presence across Europe, Latin America, and the US.
Focus on innovation and collaboration
As Boldplay enters a new chapter, it will continue to work closely with Openbox Holdings to ensure a smooth leadership transition.
The two companies aim to leverage their combined technological expertise and commercial resources to maintain their focus on innovation and growth.
A message of gratitude and optimism
Richard Hogg, CEO of Openbox Holdings, expressed his appreciation for Fragoso’s contributions, stating:
“I, and the wider Openbox Holdings team, want to extend our warmest gratitude to Valli for her dedication and contributions to Boldplay. Over the last five years, she has made the studio an iGaming force to be reckoned with. We wish her the best for her future endeavours.”
Hogg also emphasized the company’s excitement for the future:
“As Boldplay enters this new chapter, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to leverage our synergies to drive bold innovation and deliver exceptional value to our partners. Boldplay is stronger than ever, and this transition allows us to refine our focus on delivering exciting experiences and expanding market presence in 2025 and beyond.”
