A track record of leading successful product development in the gaming industry, ideally across mobile and PC.
Proven ability to drive clarity in ambiguity, especially during pre-production and early development phases.
A strategic, play-to-win mindset paired with executional excellence—you can zoom out to big-picture goals and zoom in to unblock the team.
Experience working with licensed IP and navigating both creative opportunities and brand considerations.
Exceptional communication, storytelling, and influencing skills—you’re trusted by creatives, designers, engineers, and execs alike.
