SGO Corporation

In 2014, Smartmatic's CEO Antonio Mugica and British Lord Mark Malloch-Brown announced the launching of the SGO Corporation Limited,[26][27] a holding company based in London whose primary asset is the election technology and voting machine manufacturer. Lord Malloch-Brown became chairman of the board of directors of SGO since its foundation,[28] while Antonio Mugica remained as CEO of the new venture. They were joined on SGO's board by Sir Nigel Knowles, Global CEO of DLA Piper, entrepreneur David Giampaolo and Roger Piñate, Smartmatic's COO and co-founder. Malloch-Brown stepped down as chair in December 2020.

Los Angeles county

In 2017, Los Angeles County signed a $282 million contract with Smartmatic to create an election system to be used for future elections, and became the first publicly owned voting system in the United States.[97][98][99] The system was first used during the 2020 California primary elections.[97][98][100] Both software and hardware were developed in the United States by Smartmatic, while ownership of all products and intellectual properties were then given to Los Angeles County.[97] The machines developed incorporate an interactive ballot that is printed by each voter to validate results, and then deposited back into voting machines.[99][101] According to The Voting System Assessment Project, interest in the voting system was expressed by other districts in the United States and internationally.

Antonio Mugica

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Mugica#Career

Antonio Mugica (born May 1974) is the founder and CEO of Smartmatic, a multinational electronic voting company. He also previously served as the Director of Anoto Group AB and Director of Panagroup Corporation.

Career

In the late 1990s, Mugica along with two other Venezuelan colleagues, Alfredo José Anzola and Roger Pinate, created a system where thousands of inputs could be placed into a network simultaneously. Early trials of this system were used on ATMs in Mexico, though after the 2000 United States presidential election, they decided instead to dedicate the system toward electoral functions.[citation needed]

Mugica has been an advocate for electronic and internet voting,[2] election modernization,[3] and digital democracy.[4] Some of his views to bring in technological advancement in elections include: the need to create tools for engaging citizens through voting and participation in the governance process,[5] making voting more accessible,[6] making sure that comprehensive pre- and post-election audits become a common practice,[7] and the significance of investing in research and development in the election technology market.[8][9]

In 2022, Mugica was named a Strategic Advisor on election technology to Oxford University's Programme on Democracy & Technology, which is managed through the university's Oxford Internet Institute.
