Kudos Games Services Bolsters Executive Ranks with Key Appointments

Kudos Games Services has strengthened its senior leadership with the appointments of Michael Hanna as Chief Operating Officer and Ann Hurley as a Board Advisor, further enhancing its capabilities. Hanna, formerly a member of Testronic's management board, brings a wealth of experience in global QA operations to his new role. His primary focus will be on driving operational excellence, scalability, and international expansion for Kudos. "With a solid foundation in place, the next step for Kudos is to scale our delivery capabilities in a structured and sustainable manner," Hanna noted.

According to Hurley, "The current market landscape demands partners who can deliver quality, flexibility, and commercial value. Kudos is ideally positioned to meet this need." Kudos specializes in providing scalable QA services and support to an array of studios and publishers, such as Bandai Namco, Warner Bros, Silver Lining Interactive, PQube, Curve Games, and Antstream. Established in 2020 in conjunction with digital agency Dunetech, Kudos currently employs over 100 staff across its operations in the UK and Tunisia, with co-CEOs Daniel Atherton and Thouraya Walker at the helm.
