I help lead the way to build and run successful games
Christian Rønde Oligschläger
With 20 years of both hands-on and management experience within mobile game development - 8 years working on Subway Surfers - I have a broad experience within the field. I have lead several projects from concept to Live Ops while building teams and coaching & developing employees. I practise a strong focus on target audience, basing decisions on data and research and building games to become commercially successful. I strive to bring out the best of people while being open and truthful and keeping calm during difficult and complex challenges.
