FIFA’s Ex-Development Director Appointed Splash Damage’s Director of Production

Hot on the heels of Paul’s blog post about what you can expect from us this year, we’ve got our first announcement to make today. We’re delighted to announce that Griff Jenkins has been appointed Splash Damage’s Director of Production and will oversee all of our development efforts. Griff previously spent seven years at Electronic Arts where he led big franchises like FIFA and Need for Speed and managed multiple development teams simultaneously.

Here’s what our fearless CEO Paul Wedgwood had to say about Griff’s appointment:

Following FIFA’s incredible success, Griff’s new role at Splash Damage will be to improve our games by improving the way we make them. Under Griff’s leadership we’ll elevate production to a discipline on par with art, design, and programming. These are areas that we’ve always constantly strived to improve, and production should be no different.
