With a customer focused approach to game development, Booming Games is continuously seeking to break new ground and diversify its offering, setting out plans to significantly increase the cadence of games releases this year.

Booming Games has a strong track record of investing in its people, with headcount recently surpassing 200 people. Looking ahead, the growing C-suite will ensure that the business continues to mature and is well-placed to navigate the next stage of its expansion.

Max Niehusen, Founder of Booming Games, said: “We are delighted to announce Luke’s promotion, in what is a landmark moment for Booming Games as we appoint our first Chief Financial Officer.
