About me

I'm a Product Director, LiveOps & Analytics at Epic Games, working with cross-functional teams to deliver the tools and services that help developers create, manage and publish gaming experiences across every platform.

Over 16 years I've directed live operations at some of the industry's most ambitious studios - from Creative Assembly (Total War, HYENAS, Alien: Isolation), to Jagex (RuneScape) to People Can Fly (Outriders, Lost Rift, Gears of War: E-Day) and now Epic (Fortnite, Epic Online Services) - leading multi-disciplinary teams across Operations, Release, BI, Engagement, Security, and QA.

Outside of the day job, I'm a BAFTA member, an IGDA mentor, and have spent the past few years actively supporting the games community - over 200 mentor sessions in 2023 alone, and helping 150+ individuals back into work since 2022.
