Nordeus

3 gaming industry leaders 🤝, 50+ years of combined experience📱, one great conversation🎙️!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Yaron Leyvand, EVP of Mobile Studios, and Scott Koenigsberg, Chief Product Officer, to Belgrade for a special edition of our traditional fireside chat with Nordeus CEO Branko Milutinović.

From Scott’s early days in the gaming industry, shaping titles like Mafia Wars and City Ville, to Yaron’s leadership of current chart toppers, the duo offered their expert perspective on building mobile games that truly stand the test of time, the conversation bridged past, present, and future.

Here’s a glimpse of what we explored:
👉 What does it take to build games that last?
Did you know that 11 Zynga games have been live for over a decade - including ?

👉 Is there a “secret formula” for longevity?
While each Zynga studio has its own approach, one thing is consistent: a strong, long-term investment in growing games.

👉 How do we approach creating new games today?
From innovation to long-term thinking, we unpacked the philosophy behind building gaming experiences that last.

Thank you for joining us in Belgrade! 🙌
We’re already looking forward to the next one! ✨

16 years ago, our journey started...🎂✨⚽🥳

Since then, there have been millions of matches played, trophies lifted, rivalries born, alarms set for transfers, hearts broken in stoppage time… and memories made - together!

That wouldn’t be possible without our amazing Managers and our Nordeans! 💫

This squad is 16 years old now, but it still feels like we’re just getting started.
To many more! 🎊🏟️
