Todd Arnold Helps Game Developers Find Success on Tango as New VP of Games

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/17/13 — , the leading messaging and entertainment platform in the U.S., announced today the strategic hire of Todd Arnold to lead the company-s growing games division. Arnold brings 20 years of experience to Tango, including his four years at Zynga where he led a 600-person organization and was responsible for the “Ville” business, which included popular titles such as Farmville.

“I love making games, but what excited me most about joining Tango-s team was the opportunity to introduce brand new audiences to games through a social mobile platform — the same way we saw first-time players discover games on web-based social networks, like Facebook, a few years ago,” said Todd Arnold, vice president of games at Tango. “I look forward to working with game developers and leveraging Tango-s social communication channels to create new hit games on the platform.”

“Tango-s games division is growing exponentially, but we recognize that its ongoing success depends heavily on the support we provide our developer network,” said Eric Setton, CTO and co-founder at Tango. “Todd Arnold has a decorated history of establishing chart-topping and award-winning games, making him just the talent Tango needs to help game developers find success on our platform.”

Hiring Arnold is part of Tango-s overall strategic growth plan to capitalize on the momentum it has experienced since opening up the platform to game developers, which includes:

Launching a total of 16 games with 12 partners — including top game developer, Gameloft

Increasing daily member growth by 20 percent, organically

Surpassing 150 million registered users
