Product Manager, Digital, DreamHack Festivals

At EFG (ESL FACEIT Group) we create worlds beyond gameplay where players and fans become community. We pride ourselves in having a corporate social responsibility which is that “IT’S NOT GG (Good Game), UNTIL IT’S GG FOR ALL”. We are passionate about the culture we foster that ultimately helps to create and shape the world of esports, gaming tournaments, leagues, events and holistic ecosystems staged for our millions of players, fans and heroes.

At our DreamHack festivals, we want to connect gamers of all tribes in real life because we believe connection between games and gamers, between players and fans, between creators and communities, will create value beyond the gameplay itself. At DreamHack, games become phenomena. Players become legends. Creators go viral. And friends create unforgettable moments of excitement & joy that they look back at for years to come.
