Meanwhile, Zynga alum Steven Tarry has been hired as head of user acquisition. He worked in this area before at Naturalmotion, and more recently, Zynga.

The third appointment is Multiplay veteran Wilson who joins as head of video and live production. Wilson worked at Multiplay for eight years growing the outfit's broadcast and production division.
