Agenda

Join Brian Ward, CEO of Savvy Games Group, and Tom Giles, a Senior Executive Editor at Bloomberg, for an executive conversation on building a global games business from Saudi Arabia. Drawing on his journey from Activision Blizzard to establishing and scaling Savvy, Brian will share how the company has built a diversified portfolio over the past four years, balancing the development of homegrown studios and talent with international investment and partnerships. He will address core C-suite challenges - risk, scale, and relative studio autonomy - and share practical do’s and don’ts for operating in Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region.
