Harinder Sangha
OPERATIONS DIRECTOR, SUMO DIGITAL
“My proudest moment was to be given the opportunity to go down in Sega history, to become the first female studio head for Sega Europe,” begins Harinder Sangha, who is a true veteran of the UK development scene.
She has held numerous positions at the likes of Codemasters and Sega, and has just recently joined the team at Sumo as operations director. Harinder is renowned for her support of developers, with her expertise in finance, facilities, IT infrastructure, HR and recruitment.
She has a proven record of creating a diverse and motivated workforce of over 55 staff in a busy work environment, and providing an open-door policy for staff services and counselling. Her work at Sega Hardlight saw the studio win at last year’s Best Places To Work Awards.
“This is an amazing industry, male or female, so embrace it with both hands, follow your passion, and don’t be afraid to show it,” she advises to those looking at a career in the industry. “In return you’ll have the time of your life and meet the best people along the way.”
