About

Ten years in games, on every side of the table.

Tom Jongens on stage, giving a talk

I've worked across the games industry as a business developer, producer and event organiser.

At Dutch Game Garden I supported dozens of studios and co-organised INDIGO, the Netherlands' leading B2B game showcase. In Brussels I led a studio as CEO.

In 2018 I founded JoTo Games in Breda; since 2025 it has been based in Rotterdam: an independent studio with its own production pipeline behind it. I'm its game designer and developer.
