Alexey Sazonov, who was responsible for sales and marketing at Herocraft for more than eight years, left the Kaliningrad company to found his own game studio — Krabwerk.

The “bird” company has a new operating director. He became Teemu Suila, a Nokia veteran who gave about 18 years of his life to the cellular company.     

The authors of Angry Birds hired Jamie Laes, a former vice president of EA Playfish, as vice president of games. His predecessor, in turn, announced that he was leaving the company.
