We are very excited about the merger with Stillfront. Combining portfolios and using our knowledge of the service model and innovative monetization will be an excellent formula for success.

Last year she became the owner of Imperia Online, and before that she bought Goodgame Studio and Coldwood Interactive, famous for Unravel.
