Experience
COO
Sep 2024 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US
In 2025 I\'m focused on building on the successes of our live products like Return to Moria, and planning the next wave of our games in development. Working with our leadership team here and abroad, we\'re continuing to invest in our publishing and production operations, and growing our team at North Beach Games Prague to scale. The old catchphrases still apply - we\'re trying our best every day to make great games that are on time, on budget. And I appreciate that being at a small company allows me to remain hands on and work with almost every facet of the business in some way!
