Hansson officially joined heo Group in December 2023, but his hiring was only recently announced by the company. He comes to heo Group by way of Arcane Tinmen, where he spent three years as their Product Manager. He is also a freelance game designer, and a huge fan of Magic: The Gathering.
"As Ultimate Guard continues to reach new heights, Stefan's experience in innovation, structure, and analytics will be invaluable," said Patrick Hildebrant, CEO of heo America and General Manager for Ultimate Guard.
Hansson represents a major pick up for heo Group as his previous job was working with the Dragon Shield brand, which competes against Ultimate Guard products in the same space. In his new role at Ultimate Guard, he will help guide the studio through a period of growth with several new product launches planned for 2024 and beyond.
heo Group also recently released The Shogun's Journey Part 1: The Samurai's Chest , a new Katana Series bundle (see "'Katana Series' Bundle Heads to Retail").
