Homa Games appoints new chief operating officer

Homa Games has promoted Julien Bourhis to Chief Operating Officer after one and a half years as Vice President of Operations, where he successfully structured and scaled the company’s organisation from 30 to 90 people across four different offices.

In this new position, Bourhis' main mission will be to expand the production studios and marketing & growth teams.

He will also help push the company’s data roadmap while maintaining Homa’s international, ambitious, and entrepreneurial culture.

Results-driven leader

Daniel Nathan, CEO of Homa Games, said: "We’re thrilled to promote Julien to this new role. He is a proven results-driven leader with a deep understanding of every aspect of our company.

"He has an incredible ability to recognise and capitalise on emerging development opportunities well before anyone else. His dedication, intellect, and strong business sense have earned him this new position."

Former Project Leader for the Boston Consulting Group, Bourhis has extensive experience in large scale transformation, strategy, and marketing. During his time as VP of Operations at Homa Games, he has led user acquisition (UA) & monetisation, creatives, and market intelligence initiatives towards reaching 40 games published and achieving 300 million installs.

During 2020, Homa Games went through a seed fundraising round, opened offices in Toulouse, Skopje and Lviv, tripled its staff, and organized three worldwide game jams, in which Bourhis’ strategic execution was key.

Homa is such a unique place where you can gain immense ownership over key development topics.
