International Game Developers Association (IGDA) welcomes three new directors to its board: Tiziano Giardini, Jennifer Estaris, and Pedro Zambon. 

They replace several directors who are cycling off the board. Tiziano Giardini is a games ecosystem strategist and builder committed to empowering developers and growing the global games sector.

Giardini cofounded IGDA Italy with a group of enthusiastic volunteers in Turin, building it into a thriving, nationwide chapter with regular monthly events and nationwide partnerships. At 34BigThings, one of Italy’s leading game studios, he works between production and business development, as well as leading Quickload, the studio accelerator for early-stage teams.

Outside the studio, he has been involved in a number of ventures in gaming, innovation, and entrepreneurship. As a member of the IGDA Incubator & Accelerator Special Interest Group, he is an active facilitator of knowledge exchange between global and local initiatives. On the IGDA board, he brings a systems-level perspective, with an emphasis on creating more robust connections, infrastructures, and opportunities for developers globally.
