WHY DID I CREATE THIS WEBSITE & NEWSLETTER?
I've spent 10 years in recruitment, with the last 5 spent inside the hiring rooms of gaming's most iconic studios.
From the global AAA machinery of Ubisoft to the agile growth of Behaviour Interactive, I've lived the transition from high-speed scaling to the current industry correction. After placing 100+ talents and scaling 25+ projects, I realized that while the industry is shifting, the "insider playbook" is still missing.
I created the Talent Play Zone to be your bridge between studio strategy and career resilience. This is the direct intel I use to hire everyone from Interns to VPs, turned into a roadmap for you.
I want a more resilient industry. Helping you stay in the game is my contribution to building its future.
