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. An exceptional career marked by her expertise, commitment, and genuine passion for the sector.
It’s rare to find someone who brings more than 50 years of gaming industry experience and still approaches each day with the same dedication that has defined Manuela’s career. Since joining Zitro in 2009, she has played a key role in strengthening the company’s position as one of the leading global suppliers in the industry.
“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.”
The transition has been thoughtfully managed. Albert Zorrilla, who has served as General Manager for Zitro in Spain for the past year, has been working closely with Manuela and will continue to lead the company’s Spanish operations with the same commitment to excellence she has exemplified.
As Manuela steps away from Zitro, she closes a meaningful chapter. She leaves behind a stronger company, relationships built over years of collaboration, and an industry in Spain that benefited deeply from her contributions. Grace, experience, and a genuine love for the work. That’s how she did it. That’s a legacy worth celebrating.
