Jonty Barnes’s Expertise With over 30 years in games, I've had the privilege of working with some of the industry's brightest minds and talents. My career began at Bullfrog Productions, before Co-Founding Lionhead Studios creating hit titles such as Dungeon Keeper and Black & White. I then moved to the US to become Executive Producer at Bungie on Halo 3, still the most profitable Halo title to date. I rose to the board at Bungie, running game development for over 10 years, growing it into a live service organisation with over 800 staff plus two co-development studio partnerships. In 2018, I returned to the trenches of development as Destiny General Manager, growing the franchise to record levels with multiple BAFTAs, DICE & TGA awards. I helped grow the Destiny business, and was part of the Leadership team during its acquisition by Sony. I returned to England in 2019, advising Bungie, Sony & NetEase Interactive Entertainment. As a lifelong football fan and with a desire to create a genre disrupting football game myself, I invested in CLUB early in 2022 as an active advisor, before becoming Formation Games’ CEO six months later given my belief in the games broad appeal and confidence in the team to deliver a social football ownership experience like no other.
