We’re thrilled to announce that Jess Gaskell returns to Sumo
Digital as our new Director of Project Management Office (PMO).

Jess, who previously worked for Media Molecule as Director
of Production, returns to Sumo in a newly created role to lead Sumo Digital’s
project management across its 16 studios. She will oversee areas such as
project reporting, stage gate reviews, and collaboration initiatives; as well
as training and change management support.

“Sumo Digital gave me my first role in the games industry
over a decade ago and I’m excited to return,”
said Jess. “As Sumo Digital has
grown, having a team dedicated to supporting projects at an operational level
has become more important.

“My department works directly with projects and studios to
support teams doing their best work, including areas like development tool
improvements and best practice guidance. We also manage a range of strategic
projects across Sumo Digital.

“I see this role as an amazing opportunity to use my games
production background to make a difference across all our projects.”
