Simon Ferrari is a Director of Games with 11 years of experience blending product strategy, UX and live-ops for IP-driven titles across console, mobile and VR. At AMC Networks he leads production and biz-dev for franchise games—overseeing licensing, indie label releases like Lucky Tower Ultimate, and monetization strategy for brands such as The Walking Dead. He’s skilled at evaluating early-stage projects, providing design and production oversight to external teams, and aligning creative decisions with clear ROI for publishing partners. A former game scout, adjunct professor, and researcher, Simon brings academic rigor in game theory and procedural content to practical production workflows. He’s equally comfortable negotiating licensing deals as he is advising indie teams on economy design and user experience, with a habit of surfacing unconventional, high-quality indie projects to broader audiences.
