Video Game Industry Leader &
Talent Development &
Studio Operations.
I am a seasoned video game industry professional with deep expertise in talent development, studio operations, and strategic personnel management. While my official title is Talent Development Producer, I operate effectively as a studio executive, working closely with my studio’s Managing Director as the driving force behind personnel management, compensation analysis, and career growth programs.
My work requires a blend of deep soft skills—mentoring every developer on their career journey and synthesizing that feedback into studio-wide initiatives—alongside complex hard skills in personnel database management and cost analysis. I have built a reputation for thoughtfulness, transparency, and thoroughness, and empathy, fostering a growth-oriented environment that empowers individuals and strengthens overall team performance.
