Atari has hired Olivier Rameil to be the sales and marketing director for Europe. He was a business developer with Gameloft and worked with new platforms, like connected televisions and set-top boxes, and led work on in-flight entertainment and product placement.

“Olivier brings a wide range of experience and a strong record for execution in the mobile industry,” said CEO Jim Wilson. “Atari has had a long and successful history across Europe and we look forward to reigniting the business through mobile games and other brand related opportunities.”

“Atari’s shift in strategy to mobile gaming represents an incredible opportunity to bring great new games based on some of the most legendary intellectual properties to a contemporary audience,” added Rameil. “The company has already achieved demonstrated success in the U.S. mobile market with Atari’s Greatest Hits, Breakout: Boost and Asteroids: Gunner, and I look forward to expanding upon this success in the EMEA market.”
