Operations

I've ran the operations for three studios in the games industry with capital reaching $12 million (Netspeak Games, Fusebox Games, Failbetter Games), entering at early stage growth and setting up all processes and strategy from scratch

Inclusivity Consultancy

According to CPI More diverse companies are 70% more likely to capture new markets, generate nearly double the revenue derived from new products and services, and have more than double the cash flow per employee over a three-year period. I have a proven track record in fostering inclusive studios and building diverse teams.

Business Development

How do we take your idea, game or creative endeavour and make it an economic success? With past studios raising $12m, creating revenue of $10m and overseeing growth from early stage, let me help you grow

Management Training

With over 10 years in games studios, let me help you navigate the complicated world of people management and interpersonal relationships. From line manager training, to mediation services, coaching and workshops, as well as written process and structures

Finance

In studios I've worked at, I've coordinated with external accountants and payroll service teams, but been responsible for everything internally financially related, including: P&Ls, Runway, Burn, royalties, revenue shares, VGEC preparation, budget allocation and management

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is another valuable way of financing your studio or project, whether for tabletop or digital. With increased caution from more traditional routes such as VCs, angels and publishers; crowdfunding allows creators to take their project to market, and reach new audiences, with minimal initial investment.
