Somewhere in your studio, someone is saying:

Nobody can say what this game is for. It reviews well and nobody stays. The roadmap changes every standup. Monetization was built for a different game. Runway and release plan don't agree.

In most struggling studios, it's hard to make decisions that compete for product and operational excellence. I can help take both seats until your team can.

Who

Eighteen years building the product and the machine.

How can I help you?

I'm Isabelle Henriques. Eighteen years in games, with budgets, forecasts and the entire P&L on my desk. I founded Maxis Europe and EA Sports' first European hub, ran live product for The Sims 4 across 24M+ active users, and delivered Madden Ultimate Team at $250M annual gross profit. Most recently, Co-CEO and COO of a Berlin studio taking a nine-year MMO to market.

I've held both seats — deciding what the game should be, and building the system that gets it made on time and profitable.
