28. What's Next After Leading Covet Fashion? - with Sarah Fuchs
Sarah has over 20 years of experience making games. For the past 12 years she has been focusing exclusively on mobile. Most recently she was the VP and GM of the #1 Fashion game, Covet Fashion. Prior to that Sarah worked on The Sims Mobile, various mobile titles at Ngmoco and DeNA as well as Spore, X men- the official game, The Sims 2, The Godfather and James Bond Everything or Nothing.
Sarah could have continued her career path at big companies. But instead, she decided to start her own initiatives and work on projects that give her meaning and allow her to make a bigger impact on the industry.
In this episode, Sarah is sharing with us:
- How she led her team on Covet Fashion and built her Leadership team with 90% women
- How the Covet Fashion team addressed the sensitive topic of racial diversity in the game
- How she made the switch from Glu Mobile to invest her time on meaningful and impactful projects such as WINGS mobile
- Why is it hard(er) for women and marginalised communities to get funding, and what we can do about it
