Rich was a part of the Leadership team for Blizzard Europe in Paris, building from single digits to more than 1000. He was promoted to Lead parts of the US HQ in California before joining the Leadership team at ZeniMax/Bethesda on the East Coast. After returning to California to work at Riot Games, after which he then moved to Copenhagen with IO-Interactive, before returning to Cornwall to run AntiMatter Games, part of the EG7 group.
AntiMatter Games, while a company in growth are still the smallest that Rich has run so he, along with others wears several hats. While much of his time is given over to working with the Public Company side of the EG7 group, he may well also be found working on the writing of the story for the game or providing creative direction to the team in his internal role of Game Director for the title in development. He’s always believed that it’s critical to understand the needs and motivations of the team to ensure they can focus on delivering the best possible experience for the player.
Rich’s key strengths lie in being able to live in two worlds simultaneously; with a track record of high-level strategic experience and two decades where every game has been a commercial success in combination with the ability to grow, coach and lead creative teams to create compelling stories for a vast international audience.
