The departure of Endemol UK managing director Jurian van der Meer for the head office team in the Netherlands has created a great opportunity for the company’s commercial director, Owain Walbyoff, who takes up the reins as head of the games business from April 1.
Walbyoff has been with the company since 2009 and was head of business development prior to his appointment as commercial director just over a year ago
“Owain has great creative and commercial talent and his experience and expertise in the gaming sphere make him the ideal person to lead Endemol Games into the next phase of growth,” said CEO Lucas Church.
