THNDR has appointed gaming industry veteran Nancy MacIntyre, former CEO of WorldWinner, as a strategic advisor, the company said. MacIntyre will advise THNDR’s leadership team as it works to bring more operators onto its player-vs-player (PvP) skill games network.

MacIntyre has more than 25 years in gaming and digital entertainment. Most recently, she served as CEO of WorldWinner, a competitive skill-gaming platform that developed FanDuel’s skill gaming app, FaceOff. She has also held senior roles at LeapFrog, LucasArts, Atari, and Hasbro.

THNDR positions itself as a white-label skill games layer that operators including sportsbooks, DFS platforms, and lottery apps can integrate to drive engagement and earn revenue per game. The company said it has recorded 160m+ games played, a 99.99% fill rate, and 25+ partners live.

“Nancy didn’t just predict the rise of skill gaming, she led it. At WorldWinner she led efforts to take FanDuel FaceOff mainstream and proved this category works at scale,” said Desiree Dickerson, CEO of THNDR. “As we bring more Tier 1 operators onto our network, that is exactly the expertise we need. Having her in our corner makes everything we build sharper.”

“I have built games on almost every platform that mattered over the last 25 years, and PvP skill gaming is one of the most exciting categories in the market right now,” said Nancy MacIntyre. “THNDR has the team, the technology, and the lead. I am excited to help them turn that into mainstream, must-play games.” THNDR said it plans to share more on its competitive gaming roadmap in the coming months.”

OS Studios has appointed Ishaan Arya as Country Manager for India, tasking him with leading the agency’s expansion across newly established hubs in Bengaluru, New Delhi, and Mumbai. The appointment was announced on 25 June, 2026 in Bengaluru.

OS Studios, a Project Worldwide agency, said it recently entered the Indian market and will deploy its ‘Fan Z’ approach for brands looking to engage with gaming, esports and live events audiences in South Asia. The company said the expansion will leverage the infrastructure and production capabilities of sister agency George P. Johnson (GPJ) India.

“The future of gaming will be shaped by the communities that care about it most, and few markets embody that more than India,” said John Higgins, CEO of OS Studios. “To build something meaningful, you have to be part of the culture, not looking in from the outside. Ishaan understands that better than anyone. He’s exactly the kind of leader we want building the future of OS Studios in India.”

In the role, Arya will oversee operations, drive strategic brand partnerships, and scale local capabilities, according to the company. “Brands are investing heavily in Indian gaming, but true fan experience is too often an afterthought,” said Rasheed Sait, Chief Growth Officer for India and South Asia at Project Worldwide. “Alongside GPJ India’s experiential footprint, OS Studios will set a new standard for fan engagement in the region.”

Arya previously co-founded The Esports Club and most recently served as Vice President of Partnerships at Nodwin Gaming, where he led Comic Con India. “A massive gap remains between brand intent and authentic community engagement in India,” said Arya. “I’m thrilled to leverage Project Worldwide and GPJ India’s operational strength to build culture-defining experiences for brands and fans alike.”
