Tripledot Studios Bolsters Leadership Team with Key Hires
Mobile games company Tripledot Studios has expanded its executive team with two new leadership hires. Ido Naim joins as VP of Liveops and Zohar Rozenberg as Head of Operations.
“Hiring top talent has always been core to Tripledot’s success—and Ido and Zohar are the perfect example. Ido’s expertise building rich player experiences through data, and Zohar’s pedigree in deep tech and building winning businesses, are precisely what we need during this momentous time in our company and market. Their contributions will be key for us as we continue to build our roster of games and execute on our vision of becoming the leading data-driven mobile games business,” Lior Shiff, CEO of Tripledot Studios, said.
Naim joins Tripledot from Voodoo where he served as Vice President of GameOps. Previously, he was Director of Monetization and User Retention at Playtika.
“I look for companies with a clear vision and purpose that bring together top talent from diverse backgrounds—and I found it at Tripledot. The fact that in under three years, Lior, Akin and Eyal have built a $150 million business and developed a roster of top-grossing games, is nothing short of impressive. I look forward to leveraging my experience in marketing, monetization and data analytics to help drive the company’s next phase of explosive growth,” Naim said.
Rozenberg joins Tripledot from Elron—a leading early-stage investor in medical devices, cyber security and enterprise software start-ups—where he served as Chief Strategy Officer and led the company’s cybersecurity investments. Zohar also serves as board member and works closely with the portfolio companies of Elron and RDC, Elron’s joint venture with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Previously, Rozenberg headed the Israel Defense Forces’ Cyber Division in the Intelligence Corps’ prestigious 8200 Unit. He is a recipient of the Israel Defense Award.
“I’ve invested in and supported several multi-billion dollar companies, and I know a winner when I see one. Tripledot has been able to achieve what few have: they’ve scaled rapidly to tens of millions of users while delivering a consistent and outstanding player experience— and that’s no easy feat. This is a rocketship and I look forward to playing a role in its next growth chapter,” Rozenberg said.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
