The new additions are Connie Brammeier (former head of experiences and gaming at Disney), Bruce Grove (former VP at Mythical Games), Stefan Lampinen (managing director and founder at Game Advisor), Jon Lander (CEO and founder of Square Corners Consulting), Tracey McGarrigan (CEO and founder of Ansible), Douglas Morin (former CEO of Devolver Digital), Don Sechler (co-founder and CFO of Blumhouse Games), Mark Stanley (CEO and founder of Syndicate of Play), and Markus Windelen (founder of Versility Ventures).

In addition, Vivrato is launching “a suite of transformative content offerings aimed at sparking deeper conversations across the industry, starting its new Gaming Decoded podcast.

Hosted by Short Media president, Andrea Rene, this industry-focused podcast will “explore best practices, behind-the-scenes insights, and hard-earned lessons from across the gaming world” when it launches later this year.
