“Due to a clear strategic decision by shareholders to focus on their main European markets, our shareholders have made the decision to stop investing in the Latin American region, where Beat operates,” the firm said in a statement through its LinkedIn account.
“Following today’s official internal announcement, we will now focus on providing the best support to all affected employees, as well as notifying our customers and partners of our intention to close our operations,” he added.
