Nick Earl has been trying to lead a creative transformation at Glu Mobile for the past two-and-a-half years since he joined the mobile game company and later became its CEO.

It started with the acquisition of Crowdstar in 2016 and the growth of the titles Design Home and Covet Fashion, two games aimed at women that came from outside-the-box thinking about what a game can be. Earl talked about Glu’s transformation to focus on creativity in a fireside chat with Mike Vorhaus, president of Magid Advisors, at our recent GamesBeat Summit 2018.
