NaturalMotion hires new sales VP

NaturalMotion has hired Paul Topping as its new VP of sales for EMEA territories.

Topping, whose previous experience includes stints at Criterion, MathEngine and Codemasters, will now be responsible for EMEA product sales and account management at the firm, including for the new Kinect and Move Morpheme modules.

“We are delighted that Paul is joining NaturalMotion – just in time for the upcoming launch of Morpheme 3”, said VP of global sales Christian Staack.

“Paul brings with him a wealth of experience in games middleware, as well as a proven track record in introducing new products to market. We’ve been wanting to work together for some time, so it’s great we can finally make this happen.”

Topping will now be based at the NaturalMotion head office in Oxford, UK.

“NaturalMotion’s products have an enviable position in the games industry. With a triple-A customer list, and with project credits such as Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption, the company is arguable the industry leader in its field”, he said.

“I am thrilled to be joining such a talented team, and to be helping customers realise their creative visions with our products.”
