Geroge Bray

Worked within the video games industry for over twenty years, and have a wealth of experience & knowledge of video games and gaming trends. From 8-bit pixellated aliens to Social Gaming, Gamification for businesses to Online Strategies, I have been involved with it all.

I've held many senior posts throughout Europe & Asia from Project Manager, Global Licensing to Business Development and Acquistion Manager.

Currently focused on expanding Blitz Games Studios business, working with key partners globally. Working with lots of new and original IP for most major formats, covering the complete gaming demographic from Casual, Social to Core.

At Fuel Industries I worked on numerous videogames, Social Games and branded online entertainment. Partnered with many agencies and Fortune 500 brands. Clients included Microsoft, McDonalds, Orange, Disney, Vodaphone, EA & Ubisoft.

Previous to Fuel, I worked for the Casual & Social game developer MumboJumbo in 2006 until 2008, where I handled all their European & Asian business development.

Prior to that I spent more than a decade with a global developer/publisher, overseeing the development of in-house created IP and then licensing these titles globally. I was also responsible for overseeing the development of, and then bringing the two hit video games Platypus and Platypus II to the online space, and successfully launching it in over twenty countries.

Prior roles have included:
