TIGA appoints nine industry veterans to board of directors. This follows the appointment of Nellyvision studio director Elaine Green to chair earlier this year.
UK video games trade body TIGA has added nine new members to its board of directors. The organisation states that these new additions will enhance its 'ability to advocate for and support' games companies across the UK.
The newly appointed industry veterans include Gemma Brown, co-CEO of Dovetail Games, Ben Gunstone, CEO of Stainless Games, Dan Hett, studio designer director at d3t, Greg Howson, director of communications at Supermassive Games, Marco A. Minoli, director of publishing at Slitherine, Stuart Muckley, CEO of Code Wizards, Tim Repa-Davies, EVP, general counsel and head of business affairs at Sumo Digital, Sitara Shefta, co-founder and CEO of Pretty Cool Games, and John Tearle, co-founder and studio director at Flix Interactive.
This move comes after TIGA appointed Nellyvision director Elaine Green as the new chair, succeeding Rebellion's Jason Kingsley earlier this year.
'We are delighted to welcome our new board members, whose experience and expertise span the breadth of the UK games industry. Their appointment strengthens TIGA's ability to represent and advocate for the interests of games studios, publishers, and associated businesses across the country,' said TIGA CEO Richard Wilson, OBE.
'The UK games industry is a remarkable success story, generating economic growth, creating highly skilled jobs, and producing world-class IP. It is essential that companies of all sizes, from start-ups and scale-ups to established studios and publishers, have a strong voice. Our new Board reflects the diversity, talent, and ambition of our sector and will help ensure that TIGA continues to champion the policies, initiatives, and opportunities that enable games businesses throughout the UK to thrive.'
