22Cans, Peter Molyneux

Simon Phillips has been named the new CEO of 22Cans, while co-founder Peter Molyneux will now be the studio's creative director. Phillips was hired in March to be the executive director at 22Cans.

22Cans has also hired several other people. Colin Gallacher is the company's new PR Manager, Anthony Straub is a new producer, and Richard Williams is a new programmer. Annah Wootten-Pinéles and Shay Hulbert have been hired for the art department and Ryan Singh has been brought on as a programming intern.

Phillips said the following:

"It's a great time to be part of the games and entertainment industry right now. Not only are we seeing some amazing originalities in design but also some incredible innovations in the way these are executed from a business point of view. 22cans is unlike any team I've ever worked with before and has been one of the stand-out studios over the last three years. I'm super excited to be part of the future here and to help take 22cans to the next level.

Running a business, especially a fast paced business like this, takes a lot of energy and focus. At 22cans we have a mission statement and that is 'To create World Changing ideas' and with Peter now able to fully immerse himself in the Creative Direction of not only Godus but The Trail and all the really smart, cool ideas we have, I believe we can do just that. It's important for us, as a studio, to fully understand what it is we do best and what our role is in delivering our ideas. I want to ensure the lifeblood of the studio is as creative and dynamic as possible."
