Consultant, Mentor, and Trainer for Game Production Professionals: Liam Wickham.
About Liam Wickham
I’m a lifelong learner, teacher, and consultant with 30+ years of experience across the games industry and beyond. I’ve led teams at Sony PlayStation, Sumo Digital, Wargaming, nDreams and others. I’ve been fortunate to work as a Dev Support Manager, Head of Operations, VP of Production, Chief Development Officer and more - helping studios scale, stabilise and succeed under pressure.
I’ve also delivered transformation programmes for AstraZeneca, BT, and the UK Foreign Office. That cross-industry perspective helps me bring clarity, structure and resilience into creative chaos.
Over the years, I’ve built Game Production Academy to share what I know: creating podcasts, YouTube content, templates, articles and courses for the people often left to figure it out alone: game producers, project managers and operational leaders.
I’m certified across agile, kanban and programme management (MSP, PRINCE2, PSPO/PSM, SAFe, Enterprise Kanban and more). I am currently writing a book on Risk Management for Game Development, commissioned by Taylor & Francis, based on my course and consulting experience - a follow-up to my 5⭐ Udemy course.
But above and beyond the credentials, I’m a good listener. I care deeply about helping game developers plan better, lead better, and stop the crunch culture -through structured delivery, mentoring, and sustainable leadership.
If that sounds like something you need, you’re in the right place.
