What does it mean to see yourself reflected in the games you love and the industry that makes them? I chatted with Mika Dilig and Shavonne Yu, co-founders of AAPI in Gaming, a community dedicated to amplifying the voices of Asian American and Pacific Islander diaspora in games. Mika came from Aamzon Games and Shavonne from Meta Reality Labs and they seek to generate awareness and build a space for AAPI representation, career growth, and cultural celebration within games.

The Many Hats of a Head of Operations with Cole Medeiros - S2E5

What does a Head of Operations do in games? The short answer: a little bit of everything. đŸ’Œ In this episode, I chat with Cole Medeiros about the role that keeps studios running—from managing budgets and hiring to supporting production, reviewing legal docs, and stepping in wherever needed. But it’s not just logistics. Operations is a people-first role, one that requires clear communication, emotional intelligence, and a whole lot of empathy. 💡 Cole shares how being a connector between teams means listening deeply, leading with care, and making sure everyone has what they need to do their best work. If you’ve ever been curious about the backbone of a game studio, this one’s for you! #NewPlayerCharacter [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=NewPlayerCharacter] #LevelUpYourGame [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=LevelUpYourGame] #GamingIndustry [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=GamingIndustry] #GameDevelopment [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=GameDevelopment] #GamingCareers [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=GamingCareers] Opinions expressed are solely our own and do not express the views or opinions of our employers
