Industry vets signed by Unity Engine studio Unity Technologies has boosted its team with two key hires. Former Autodesk European sales manager Andrew Brammall and one-time GarageGames director of licensing Davey Jackson joined as regional sales directors for Europe and North America respectively. “I’m delighted to be joining the Unity team at such an exciting time in the company’s history,” enthused Brammall (right). “I’ve been an admirer for a while, and the combination of cool technology, bright people and an amazing community of users is remarkable.” “Unity has shown a tremendous commitment to developers by creating powerful, accessible technology and providing paths for developers to succeed in emerging game markets,” added Jackson. “I’m happy to be joining the company. The broad adoption of Unity in these markets is helping everyone participate in this growth.” The pair take on their new roles as Unity 3’s release draws near. Brammall brings additional experience having held sales positions at Kynogon SA and Havok, while Jackson can call on his five years growing annual revenues and building relationships with a range of education, simulation and console development clients. “Unity has grown beyond expectations. We are amazed at how it is being used by ad agencies, educational institutions and game developers,” said David Helgason, chief executive officer of Unity. Brammall will work in Unity’s UK office in Crawley, while Jackson is to work out of the San Francisco HQ. www.unity3d.com
