Operations Manager

Codemasters

(Privately Held; 501-1000 employees; Computer Games industry)

March 2002 — August 2004 (2 years 6 months)

Recruited into the role to provide the depth and experience needed to take the product to market and to build and maintain a revenue stream in accordance with peppercorn business ideas and assumed goals.

Initial objectives included the creation and handling of a budget of £25 million and building an awareness of the product within the marketplace. This awareness has turned the product from a minor player into one that is mentioned in the same light as the industry giants.

Next came the structuring and project management of a highly technical team of individuals who had become disillusioned with the progress of the project. Allowing the individuals to have ownership of product areas, lead to an increase in the productivity and morale of the team.
