Spil Games gets new mobile-savvy CEO to oversee social-gaming transition from Facebook

Social gaming on platforms like Facebook is slowly withering away as more consumers turn to mobile. That has developer and publisher Spil Games looking to get into the smartphone and tablet action.

To facilitate its transition from web-based social gaming to iOS and Android, Spil Games has decided to hire a new chief executive officer. The company announced today that it is bringing on Tung Nguyen-Khac to overtake that role and oversee day-to-day operations. With the mobile-gaming industry growing to $25 billion in 2014, it’s not surprising that a company like Spil would look for new leadership to help get a bigger piece of that action.
