Flaregames strengthens management team with new marketing and operations directors

Just a day after beginning its search for a new Head of User Acquisition, German mobile publisher Flaregames has announced the appointment of two new directors.

Mickael Bougis, formerly of Microsoft and a Brand Manager at EA before that, was made Marketing Director in November 2015.

Flaregames also appointed Chris Hinton, former COO of San Francisco-based Wicked Fun Games, as its Operations Director back in September.

At full strength

“Having Mickael and Chris on board here at Flaregames is a vital step for us going into 2016, as our six-person management team is now at full strength," said Klaas Kersting, founder and CEO of flaregames.

"Considering their extensive and varied experience in different areas of the gaming industry, their expertise will prove invaluable, as both have a proven track record of working with big brands, from initial gating phases right through to post-launch."
