Strategic Operational Leadership for the Gaming Industry – Bridging the gap between creative vision and executable reality.
Welcome to Strunke Games!
Throughout my career—most recently as COO of Starbreeze Studios and previously as COO of Embracer Group during its expansion from 2,000 to 16,000 employees —I have experienced being part of as well as building durable operating models that align Product, Technology, and Commercial functions.
The Strunke Games Approach
I believe that the most successful gaming companies are built on a foundation of “The Triad”: a seamless alignment between development, publishing, and commercial strategy. My mission through Strunke Games is to help studios and organizations translate their overarching strategy into a repeatable, scalable cadence of execution.
Core Areas of Expertise
Scaling & Hyper-Growth Orchestration: Designing organizational structures that support (rapid) expansion while eliminating the bottlenecks that often plague growing studios.
Executive & Board Governance: Providing senior-level interface and reporting for investors, leadership teams, and boards, particularly during periods of intense market change.
Commercial Transformation: Navigating shifts in distribution models and securing high-value international partnerships, including external collaboration funding and distribution agreements.
Interim & Strategic Leadership: Stepping in as a temporary C-level executive or project lead to stabilize operations, optimize P&L performance, or drive M&A integration
A Legacy of Learning
My operational perspective is deeply rooted in my time spent alongside management, publishing, development and tech teams. Building a studio and company structure, but also understanding the technical precision and creative grit required to ship quality projects allows me to build business models that support, rather than hinder, the creative process.
Whether you are an indie studio scaling to AA/AAA, a group navigating M&A, or an established player in need of an interim leader, Strunke Games offers the experience to turn your vision into a sustainable reality.
