Kudos Games Services expands leadership team with Testronic and Team17 execs

Kudos Games Services has expanded its senior leadership team by appointing Michael Hanna as chief operating officer and Ann Hurley as board advisor.

Hanna previously served on Testronic’s management board and brings extensive experience in global QA operations.

He will oversee the continued development of Kudos’ delivery capability, with a focus on “operational excellence, scalability, and international growth.”

“Kudos has a strong delivery foundation,” said Hanna. “The opportunity now is to scale that capability in a structured and sustainable way.”

Hurley has held several senior leadership positions, including general manager at Team17. As non-executive director, she will lead commercial strategy and the expansion of Kudos’ client portfolio.

“The market is shifting,” said Hurley. “Studios need partners who can deliver quality, flexibility and commercial value more than ever before. That is exactly where Kudos is positioned.”

Kudos provides scalable QA services and support to studios and publishers, including Bandai Namco, Warner Bros, Silver Lining Interactive, PQube, Curve Games, and Antstream.

Founded in 2020 alongside digital agency Dunetech, Kudos employs over 100 staff across its UK and Tunisia operations. The company is led by co-CEOs Daniel Atherton and Thouraya Walker.
