Kudos Games Services strengthens leadership team by adding executives from Testronic and Team17

Kudos Games Services has bolstered its executive team by welcoming Michael Hanna as chief operating officer and appointing Ann Hurley as a board advisor.

Hanna, previously a member of the management board at Testronic, brings a wealth of expertise in global QA operations. He will focus on enhancing Kudos' delivery capability by emphasizing "operational excellence, scalability, and international growth."

"Kudos has a strong delivery foundation," Hanna stated. "The opportunity now is to scale that capability in a structured and sustainable way."

Hurley, who has held senior roles including general manager at Team17, joins as a non-executive director. Her role will include shaping commercial strategy and expanding Kudos' client base.

Commenting on her new role, Hurley said, "The market is shifting. Studios need partners who can deliver quality, flexibility and commercial value more than ever before. That is exactly where Kudos is positioned."

Kudos specializes in providing scalable QA services and support to a range of studios and publishers, including well-known entities like Bandai Namco, Warner Bros, Silver Lining Interactive, PQube, Curve Games, and Antstream.

Established in 2020 along with the digital agency Dunetech, Kudos operates from the UK and Tunisia with a workforce of over 100 employees. The company is led by co-CEOs Daniel Atherton and Thouraya Walker.
