In January, the Martínez Sampedro family -founder of Codere in 1980 after legalizing gambling in Spain- lost control of the company in the hands of the Evermore fund.
This fund, specialized in restructuring mismanaged family conglomerates, crowned its long battle this week to take control of the group.
These days, the Martínez Sampedro denounces that the Evermore fund negotiates to merge Codere with the Catalan group Cirsa to create a giant of the gaming industry.
In this context, Ordoñez disembarks to take charge of the subsidiary in Argentina. With a professional background focused on the world of communication, Ordoñez had left Barrick Argentina one year ago after serving as Executive Director for two years.
In his career he worked for Herbalife, where he was vice president of Corporate Communications for South America and Central America. Previously, he was Director of Corporate Affairs at YPF (Argentine oil company) and responsible for institutional relations and external communication at Benito Roggio e Hijos, leading engineering and construction company that has been operating in Argentina since 1908.
