I am a seasoned game development executive with over 15 years of experience leading and innovating in the video game industry. My journey spans roles from Executive Producer to Studio Chief Operating Officer, where I have delivered high-quality, commercially successful games across mobile and PC platforms. I am deeply passionate about creating quality games that prioritize player enjoyment. I believe that a player-first approach is essential to building games that not only succeed commercially but also resonate with audiences on a deeper level. Throughout my career, I have championed this philosophy, ensuring that every decision—from game design to live operations—is made with the player experience and team sustainability in mind.At Paradox Tectonic, I co-founded and operated a USA-based studio for over 5 years, where I led the production of Life by You, an ambitious open-world life simulation game for PC. My role involved managing all facets of studio operations, from game production and marketing to finance, and HR. Under my leadership, we built a diverse and high-performing team, and implemented strategic initiatives to optimize development processes.Before Paradox Tectonic, I served as Executive Producer at Jam City, where I was instrumental in the success of top-grossing mobile titles such as Panda Pop and Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. These projects required not only deep technical expertise but also the ability to manage relationships with external IP holders and guide cross-functional teams through the complete game development lifecycle. My leadership was key to maintaining strong player engagement, driving significant revenue, and earning industry accolades.My approach is rooted in fostering a culture of innovation, inclusivity, and continuous improvement. I am passionate about creating environments where creativity thrives, and teams are empowered to deliver their best work. Whether it’s optimizing production pipelines, mentoring upcoming talent, or collaborating with stakeholders to align on a strategic vision, I am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in game development.
