Stillfront appoints VPs and CFO exits amid leadership shakeup

Global games company Stillfront Group has appointed Todd Heringer as executive vice president of business area North America and Kieran O'Leary as new executive VP of growth platform.

Todd brings over 25 years of experience in the interactive online, social, and mobile entertainment industries. His previous roles include SVP at Big Fish and positions at Backflip Studios and GSN Games. 

He will join Stillfront's executive management and oversee the overall performance of the North American business area, focusing on optimising the region's portfolio.

O'Leary joins the firm after previous stints from Gameloft, Outfit7, and Rovio. He will report to Stillfront Group president and interim CEO Alexis Bonte but won't be part of the executive management team. 

Elsewhere, Stillfront's Andreas Uddman has stepped down as president finance and global functions, Group CFO. He will continue in his role while a successor is appointed or until July 2025.

The news follows the appointment of interim CEO Alexis Bonte last year, following previous incumbent Jörgen Larsson's departure.

A remarkable run

“Since Andreas joined Stillfront in 2019, our revenues have more than tripled—a testament to his strong contributions over the past five years," said Stillfront Group president and interim CEO Alexis Bonte. 

“His leadership and commitment have been instrumental in shaping the company into what it is today. On behalf of everyone at Stillfront, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for his dedication and wish him every success in his future endeavours”

Outgoing CFO Andreas Uddman added: “My time with Stillfront has been an incredible journey, and I’ve had the honour of collaborating with exceptionally talented and dedicated professionals in the gaming industry and functional experts. I’m immensely proud of all we’ve achieved together and as I move on later this year, I’ll continue to follow Stillfront as a big supporter on its future journey.”

Stillfront CEO Alexis Bonte will take part in a fireside chat at Pocket Gamer Connects London (January 20th to 21st), in a session entitled: 'What Did I Learn Whilst Growing From A 10-Million-Euro-A-Year Studio To A 700-Million-Euro-A-Year Games Group?'
