Running a live-service operation
Release gates, incident ownership and the trade-off between content throughput and stability.
Production judgment, grounded in live operations
My background spans Studio Lead and Executive Producer at Avalanche Studios Group on theHunter: Call of the Wild, production leadership at Ubisoft Massive, and Production Director at Sharkmob on Exoborne.
I work on the decisions behind delivery: who owns the outcome, what evidence makes a commitment credible, and when leadership needs to act. My technical background helps connect those decisions to the systems and people doing the work.
Experience in practice
Scaling technical production
Making ownership and decision rights keep pace with a growing department.
Protecting delivery through change
Preserving capability and making the consequences of cost decisions visible.
A leadership role or a defined engagement
I welcome conversations about permanent studio and production leadership, as well as consulting engagements. For a permanent role, let's discuss the mandate, decision rights and mutual commitment directly. Availability and terms are agreed for each opportunity.
Production leadership
GameCraft is my production leadership practice: audits, workshops and fractional Executive Producer or COO engagements.
Accountable team delivery
Steadystate provides senior delivery pods for post-launch and live operations.
Early studio support
FirstPlayable supports small game teams from an idea through to a released game.
Start with the situation
Tell me about the studio, the decision or delivery challenge, and the scope you have in mind.
