After more than a decade at Rovio, it’s time for me to leave the flock, hang my Angry Birds hoodie and fly with my own wings. I joined Rovio from my AAA dream job in 2015 because I wanted to chase another dream — to help redefine Angry Birds alongside the first movie, and to see how far we could take creativity and craft on mobile (and to escape from the management back to being closer to games — to be fully honest) I wasn’t that succesful at running away from management roles, and eventually I learned how to love also that part of my job. Over the years, I had the privilege to work with some of the most talented people in the industry — artists, designers, leaders, partners, and friends who care deeply about what they make. I’ll always carry that with me. I also learned to embrace the “We craft joy” motto — and I hope I managed to spark some of that same joy in the people around me. And now, once again, I find myself chasing another dream. Maybe the biggest dream — and surely the biggest leap of faith of my career. I hope to share more of that soon — but for now, thank you to everyone at Rovio for making these years unforgettable. I’ll miss you all ❤️ It’s been a honor to be at your service 🙏
