Former Amazon sales exec joins Tag Games

Scottish developer Tag Games has hired Graham Chambers, former Amazon UK head of games, as the studio's global head of games.

As well as working at Amazon, Chambers has also held senior positions at Ubisoft, Gauntlet Entertainment and Nintendo UK.

"Attracting [Graham] from Amazon is a fantastic coup for Tag and another sign that we are experiencing a power shift in video game industry from the traditional console retail space to mobile and download," commented Paul Farley, managing director of Tag Games.

"His unique blend of experience, skills, network and expertise will be of huge benefit across all aspects of the business, especially in attracting the very best global clients for our industry-leading bespoke game development offerings."
