The gaming industry saw several personnel changes in November. Nordisk Games appointed Stefanía Halldórsdóttir as CEO and Ásgeir Kröyer as CFO; meanwhile, CD Projekt Red welcomed three former Warhorse Studios members to work on The Witcher 4.
Halldórsdóttir and Kröyer will retain their positions as CEO and CFO at Avalanche Studios Group, continuing to work from Stockholm. These appointments come shortly after Avalanche Studios Group, under Nordisk Games, reached a publishing agreement with Supermassive Games.
Allan Mathson Hansen, Chairman of Nordisk Film and former interim CEO of Nordisk Games, stated that the new management team would support the group's continued efforts to drive growth in its gaming business. Halldórsdóttir remarked that Nordisk Games should act as an active owner, providing the necessary resources for its studios and creative teams.
Game Events GmbH, organizer of Gamescom Dev, has appointed Sasha Volkohon as Head of Business Development, succeeding Roufina Guenkova. Previously serving as Senior Business Development Manager at Remote Control Productions, Volkohon will now oversee commercial affairs for Gamescom Dev, leadership events, and the company's other event portfolios.
Karel Kolmann, Zdeněk Glatz, and Zbyněk Zelinka from Warhorse Studios have joined CD Projekt Red as Senior Quest Designer, Senior Open World Designer, and Senior Gameplay Designer, respectively, with all three contributing to the development of The Witcher 4. Additionally, Stewart Neal has been appointed as Director of Partnerships and Growth at Mandali Games.
