It’s a passion that is continued for nearly twenty years with no end in sight, ” says Sheloman Byrd, COO, Streamline Media Group. “It’s an exciting time overall, with over 3 billion global gamers and more playing every day. With this new role at Streamline, we’ll scale our success and expand our capabilities to drive the next wave of interactive experiences—ones that take diversity, high quality, and authenticity into account from the start.”
