Shake-up of Codere senior management team
González is the latest senior management hire for the Spanish gambling group. In July, Codere announced a raft of new leadership for the business.
This included the appointment of Higuero as chief executive after a four-and-a-half year stint as CEO of the Health Transportation Group.
Luis Villalb also joined the business as chief financial officer, while Sonia Carabante assumed a new senior commercial position as corporate director of commercial strategy and business projects.
