• Validate innovation and platform investments through market performance data and operator feedback.

• 10+ years in gaming, product strategy, or technology commercialization.
• Proven experience connecting technical development to commercial performance.
• Strong collaboration with studio and product teams.
• Executive-level communication and presentation skills.
