“I’ve spent the last decade working in numerous game publishing roles in the US and Asia and can’t wait to bring this experience to the mobile game publishing team at Kwalee. I’m excited to get back to the UK and help bring to life our vision of being the world’s number one publisher.”

Kwalee CEO David Darling added: “Will is thoughtful and analytical and has an outstanding track record in the industry for strategy and management, along with plenty of hands-on experience of game publishing, so we’re thrilled for him to be joining us.”

“We believe that no other publisher gives developers a better chance of success and with Will on board, I’m even more confident of that.”
