Former Angry Birds, Clash of Clans partnership lead joins mobile studio Scopely

Michail Katkoff has previously worked for mobile developers like Rovio and Supercell, where he helped create Angry Birds Rio and Clash of Clans. He’s now heading to Scopely, the mobile studio behind iPhone hits like Wordly and Mini Golf Matchup.

“Scopely has launched three consecutive No. 1 games on iOS, and I’m even more excited about the products coming down the pipeline,” Katkoff wrote on a blog post regarding his new job. “In my new role, I’ll still be working with partners, but now I’ll be back to doing what I love the most; working with game teams to take their games to the next level and sharing my expertise in free-to-play mechanics.”
