Technicolor Games has also expanded its global footprint into Montreal, Canada with new hires under Head of Global QA Nick Burns at the Montreal space, alongside Sophie Dechamplain. The Montreal studio will be the latest addition to the growing number of Technicolor Games locations. The new hires further tie into Technicolor Games’ global growth, with the business expanding to over 700 employees worldwide.

Marie-Claire Isaaman, CEO, Women in Games said, “Attracting and developing more women into senior leadership positions within the games industry is one of Women in Games’ priority action points as it is this that will help to create a positive societal shift.

Jeaneane Falkler, President of Technicolor Games commented, “I’ve been a longstanding advocate for further diversifying the creative and technology industries with female talent, and it’s incredibly important to me that women are given an equal opportunity to work within the games world. We’re invested in creating an environment that enables a diverse range of talent to thrive and ensure that women in games are given a platform to show their skills.”
