Markus Windelen
I'm a veteran of the video game industry, with decades of experience in business development, publishing and leadership. I've had the chance to live and work across different countries and cultures - France, Australia, Denmark, Germany - and that's shaped how I see the world.
I've led teams at AAA companies like Atari (back at their days), online publishers like Gameforge, indie houses like Six Foot, and at Nordisk Games on the investment side. What I bring to the table is a unique mix of expertise: distribution, publishing and financing, all rolled into one.
I'm passionate about engaging with diverse global teams, connecting the right people, and helping companies navigate the tricky stuff - like corporate development and leadership decisions. I'm flexible, dedicated, and bring a truly global perspective to finding the right solutions for your challenge.
I've always loved games and the people who make them. After all these years I'm still super enthusiastic about what I do. I'm a firm believer in leading with people first, fostering a collaborative environment built on trust, and dedication. That's how I approach working with clients and partners, too – with mutual respect, open communication, and a shared focus on impactful results.
