Bio
As a seasoned User Acquisition Manager, I drive growth in the mobile gaming industry. Currently, I'm the Sr. User Acquisition Manager at Voodoo, overseeing marketing and user acquisition for the company's largest game, a minor title that I've transformed into a significant player in the market. My role involves managing user acquisition campaigns, creative production, optimization, and App Store Optimization. Backed by accurate LTV/Revenue predictions, I've consistently hit performance targets, contributing to the steady growth of our games. Before Voodoo, I was at Stillfront Group and Gamespipe, honing my skills in campaign management and technical innovation. I maintained consistent performance for an older game at Stillfront, and at Gamespipe, I enhanced company infrastructure with new tools and software as well as excellent growth management. I bring a unique technical proficiency to my role. As a Python and SQL programmer, I create custom dashboards and conduct in-depth analyses using BI tools like Tableau and Looker Studio. My understanding of complex systems like mobile attribution, DSPs, Ad Networks, and Apple's SKAN provides me with a distinct edge. I'm excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the mobile gaming industry, harnessing the power of technology and data to drive growth and success; and helping you achieve your goals in process.
