Thunderful Group AB announced that the Board of Directors decided to appoint Martin Walfisz as new CEO. Martin is currently Board Member in Thunderful and will begin his duties as the new CEO no later than 1 September 2023. He succeeds Anders Maiqvist, Acting CEO since 10 August 2022.

Martin is an experienced games industry entrepreneur, executive and advisor of leading companies in the Nordic and European games industry. Martin founded his first game company, Massive Entertainment, and grew it from zero to 150 people during his twelve years at the helm. It is one of Europe's premier development studios and when Ubisoft acquired the studio in 2008, Martin decided to leave to focus on other commitments.

In 2016 Martin joined Nordisk Film to establish a new M&A division, Nordisk Games, focusing on investing in game companies across Europe. During his time as Senior Partner and Chief Strategy Officer, he provided strategic support to the executive leadership teams of the group companies, such as Avalanche Studios Group (SE), Supermassive Games (UK), Star Stable (SE), MercurySteam (ES) and Raw Fury (SE). Martin also established Nordisk Games' central support services team, actively helping the studios improve their production and publishing operations.
