Boldplay, the innovative game development studio recently acquired by Openbox Holdings, has announced that its Director and CEO, Valli Fragoso, has stepped down. This leadership transition marks a significant new chapter for the company as it embarks on a period of growth and innovation under its parent company’s strategic vision.
A Transformative Tenure
During her five-year tenure, Fragoso played a pivotal role in establishing Boldplay as a disruptive force in the iGaming industry. Under her leadership, the studio launched several acclaimed titles, including Brute Force, Cam Carter and the Cursed Caves, Cyborg City, and Speed Heist.
Her strategic initiatives helped the studio forge partnerships with major operators across Europe, Latin America, and the United States, including BetMGM, Grosvenor Casinos, Sportingbet, and ApuestaTotal.
Fragoso’s departure follows the studio’s acquisition by Openbox Holdings, where her leadership laid the groundwork for aligning Boldplay’s operations with Openbox’s long-term goals. The transition is seen as a step forward in integrating Boldplay’s innovative capabilities into Openbox’s larger corporate ecosystem.
Boldplay’s Rising Star
Founded in 2019, Boldplay has quickly earned its reputation as a highly sought-after brand in the game development space. The company’s impressive growth and industry impact have been fueled by its cutting-edge technology and commitment to delivering unique gaming experiences.
The leadership change comes at a time when Boldplay is poised to leverage its combined resources with Openbox Holdings to set new benchmarks for iGaming excellence. Together, the two companies plan to enhance their market presence by delivering innovative casino content and forging new partnerships in 2025 and beyond.
Openbox’s Vision for the Future
Richard Hogg, CEO of Openbox Holdings, expressed gratitude for Fragoso’s contributions and optimism for Boldplay’s future, “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.
