Alongside this, Ramona Petrina has been appointed chief of staff, a newly created position, effective immediately. Ramona joined Booming Games in November 2022 as director of HR and now has over 15 years of industry experience. Her promotion comes at a time when the business has clear plans to bolster its ranks and recruit top talent to improve customer experience.

In her new role, Ramona will act as a strategic partner, supporting executive planning and decision-making. Her immediate focus will be to devise a clear set of objectives, aligned with the overall leadership strategy, and support with the delivery of key growth initiatives. Alongside this, Ramona will continue to shape the company’s people strategy, ensuring the organisation is well-structured and prepared for its next phase of growth.

Dan and Ramona will both be in attendance at ICE Barcelona later this month, along with a number of C-suite colleagues, to showcase Booming Games’ latest games and discuss plans for the year ahead.

Max Niehusen, founder of Booming Games, said: “We are pleased to announce these two promotions at a key moment in our growth journey. With extensive experience in their fields, Dan and Ramona have already made a significant contribution to the business, providing invaluable expertise. Their promotions reflect our longstanding commitment to retain and nurture top talent, in order to better serve our rapidly expanding customer base.”

The business has set out ambitious growth plans and I am proud to be taking up the position of Chief Operating Officer to help deliver these. I look forward to continuing working closely with Max in the role, providing a market leading experience for our customers and players.
