Since taking on the role of Head of Studio at Goon Squad, my primary focus has been on leading the operational work of our dedicated team. With a team of 6 members, navigating this new chapter has brought its share of challenges and opportunities.

One of the most significant challenges has been establishing a brand-new workflow tailored to our evolving needs, as well as managing multiple projects at once. This role feels like a natural progression from my time at Headup, where I honed project management skills that now serve as the foundation for guiding Goon Squad. The transition is particularly fitting, given that Goon Squad emerged as the internal development team of Headup before being spun off into an independent company.

My main objective in this position is to implement an efficient workflow that remedies past issues we faced. To foster team alignment and transparency, we hold daily standup meetings, and each Friday, team members participate in internal update sessions to showcase their weekly progress. Watching the team thrive and operate smoothly under these practices is the most rewarding part of my role, confirming that we are heading in the right direction.

I am already working on significant changes that will be introduced over time, setting the stage for an even more efficient and cohesive development process.
