I am a videogame Localisation Project Manager with more than 10 years of experience in the industry.
I started my career path as a PM as I was born: crying and against my will.
Luckily, the years passed by and all handoffs, handbacks and successfully delivered projects filled me with determination. I joined Keywords in 2022 taking part on a wide variety of accounts: from mobile phone and casual gaming titles to AAAs.
