I'm open to remote-first, Director-level opportunities building console, PC, or mobile mobile gaming, digital play, or casino-adjacent entertainment products.

Blake Lindsey
@blindsey
I lead traditional mobile/console/PC gaming and iGaming products at consumer scale.
What I'm looking for
I've shipped game products for hundreds of millions of players, from Call of Duty: Mobile at Activision Blizzard and PUBG MOBILE at Tencent to casino content at DraftKings Games Studio.
At DraftKings, I lead product strategy, roadmaps, P&L, studio operations, and development across slots, table games, and variety content. I've directed teams of 30+ across engineering, art, design, operations, and external partners from concept through live ops.
I build products where live operations, monetization, licensing, platform infrastructure, and regulatory requirements meet. I'm pursuing an AAS in Computer Programming to further close the distance between product and engineering.
