“Since he's joined PlaySide, I've had the opportunity to work alongside Will both as a fellow Senior Producer and watch him excel into his role as Executive Producer. Within the first month of Will starting at PlaySide he clearly demonstrated a desire to do more for both the betterment of not only his teams but for everyone within the company, with this something that he's strived to do as a member of PlaySide's Production Leadership team. At the Strategic Level, the influence Will has had on PlaySide has led to signicant process changes that are still widely used to this day. Whether it be working to establish a clear greenlight and gating process for project kick-offs or showcasing long-term project resourcing costings to stakeholders such as General Managers, Directors and Lead Producers. Will has proven time and time again to be able to effectively develop strategic long-term plans across multiple product categories, that clearly outline for all stakeholders what success looks like - while also ensuring they're backed up with a team that can deliver. Additionally Will's work on the Team Level has shown that he readily takes the opportunity to provide support and guidance to all team members, regardless of seniority or discipline, exemplifying servant leadership styles through his actions. Whether he's providing opportunities for indivdiduals to gain more leadership experience through development of the Game Lead role or from diving head-first in to mentor Associate Producers with their career development. Will is an exceptionally driven and empathetic Producer whom I trust wholeheartedly to steer his projects and teams towards success. While currently working alongside Will at PlaySide, I can confidently say that I would welcome any opportunity to collaborate with him again in the future.”
