Berlin, 21 February 2022 | Mobile games studio Kolibri Games has appointed Dzmitry Yudo as Product Director for new games. He will be reporting to Guillaume Verlinden, Kolibri Games’ Managing Director.

With over ten years of experience in free-to-play online games, Yudo has led several titles from concept phase to release and live operations over the course of his career.

Dzmitry Yudo adds:

“This is an exciting opportunity, as Kolibri Games is taking the leap to commit serious effort into exploring and creating new games – and I am grateful to be given the chance to help direct and guide this effort. The company’s growth mindset, their value-driven company culture and the great leadership team headed by Guillaume make me confident that together we’ll be able to deliver great new idle games over the course of the next years. ”
