About Graeme Bayless

I have extensive experience both as a creator of entertainment software products and as a leader of development teams. My background includes engineering, writing, designing, and virtually every form of project management in this business (internal dev, ex-dev, small project, large project, console, PC, mobile). My focus is very much on fostering highly communicative and collaborative teams. As production, my role is to find ways to accelerate and empower teams of highly creative and talented people. At the end of the day, my "special sauce" is as a team runner and force multiplier on game dev teams. I'm both an avid MMO player, and an avid F2P gamer. and have delivered eleven titles with multi-million-unit-sales and over ninety total titles in my career.Specialties: Leadership, mentoring, project planning, team building, metagame design, workflow creation, operations management, project realignment, and "firefighting"
