ABOUT CHRIS KRAUSE
I’m a game and product executive who builds high-performing teams and ships complex games and platforms at scale. I’ve led portfolios from incubation to live service, with full P&L responsibility, across games and simulation / training platforms.What I’m known for- Product & portfolio leadership: Set clear product vision and strategy, connect it to commercial goals, and translate it into focused roadmaps, increasingly leveraging AI levers, that balance new bets with live-service realities- Scaling studios and portfolios: Led operations and delivery across multi-hundred-million ARR franchises and multiple new titles, aligning product, tech, and publishing around a shared strategy- Turning chaos into clarity: Build lightweight but rigorous operating models, portfolio views, and gate frameworks that help the business make real trade-offs instead of chasing everything- Shipping under pressure: Accountable for infrastructure and program delivery for global launches (including new Riot titles like VALORANT), coordinating 20+ teams across platform, infrastructure, and game teams- People-first leadership: Put emotional intelligence and psychological safety at the center of how I lead; known for growing new leaders, not just delivering roadmaps- Learning organizations: Design orgs and practices that run discovery continuously, use real player and customer data, and adapt quickly rather than treating “agile” as a process checkbox.
