What Sparks Me

Empowering every corner of the studio. From dev to HR and beyond, I ensure no one’s left without what they need to make great games happen, no matter the challenge.

Why This Experience Matters

Working at Amplitude Studios wasn’t just about office management.
It was about understanding the heartbeat of a dynamic, creative team of 180+.

I experienced the studio’s ownership change from SEGA back to its founders.
A rare, intense moment of transformation that taught me the real meaning of adaptability and trust.
Being at the heart of these challenges taught me that leadership means not just managing workflows, but being a reassuring presence, a careful listener, and a tireless enabler.
I discovered how vital it is to keep people focused and motivated when external forces might otherwise erode trust and energy.

  • Smooth daily operations and positive feedback from colleagues.

Challenge n°2 : Managing internal events on a tight budget

  • Organized the major Summer Party for 160+ people, managing budget and logistics independently.

  • Proof: Smooth handover environment and positive morale.

Challenge n°4 : Fueling my producer mindset in the shadows

Solutions
