About Me
I am currently a game producer and formerly chief operating officer of a video game development studio. I have demonstrated a real interest in the entertainment industry and in the management of multidisciplinary teams. Skilled in managing marketing campaigns (performance-driven), project management (focused on efficiency), quality assurance testing, video editing and game design, I believe that skill diversification will allow you to really understand all the stakeholders of a project. I speak fluently 3 languages (Arabic, French and English), I love cooking and I'm seeking new adventures!
