Testronic poaches senior QA leaders from Keywords and Lionbridge in three-hub expansion
Summary
Testronic is investing simultaneously across its New Orleans, Warsaw, and Manila Centers of Excellence
Warsaw QA Director Mateusz Kałuża joins from 10+ years at Lionbridge Games, including Minecraft leadership
Global Partnerships Senior Manager Lily Guerreiro joins from Keywords Studios' international BD team
"Our Centers of Excellence bring together talented people, specialist expertise and leadership, and connect those capabilities across a genuinely global organisation"
01
Simultaneous three-hub buildout, with London demoted to coordination
New Orleans adds VP of Global Partnerships Mike Guttman (20+ years BD) and BDM Nicole Closson for US commercial coverage
Warsaw adds QA Director Kałuża plus Global Partnerships Senior Manager Guerreiro
Manila adds Senior QA Manager Daniel Bowie Soriano and QA Trainer Ivan Balanay (ex-Ubisoft, Accenture)
London is positioned as a connection point across sites, not a delivery hub
02
Hires pull directly from Testronic's two largest rivals
Kałuża's Lionbridge tenure brings European publisher relationships and Minecraft-scale project credibility to Warsaw
Guerreiro brings Keywords Studios' playbook for structuring large-publisher vendor relationships
Balanay's Ubisoft background anchors the Testronic Academy training pipeline in Manila
Recruiting from Keywords and Lionbridge signals Testronic is competing for mid-to-large publisher contracts, not filling capacity
What this means
For Publishers & Developers: Testronic now offers a named-expertise alternative to Keywords' scale - benchmark on senior tester depth per hub, not headcount
For Service Vendors: Keywords and Lionbridge just lost senior BD and QA leadership to a direct competitor - expect Testronic to pursue their accounts
