Kixeye Hires Ex-Zynga Exec And Lionside Co-founder Brandon Barber

Screen shot 2011-12-13 at 9.10.19 AMBack in August, social game developer Kixeye raised $18 million in series C financing, and added Zynga Andrew Trader to its Board of Directors. And today the self-proclaimed "largest maker of online strategy combat games" has announced the addition of another ex-Zynga exec into the fold. Brandon Barber will be joining Kixeye as the SVP of Marketing, where he will report directly to Co-founder and CEO Will Harbin. Barber brings significant gaming experience to Kixeye, as he previously co-founded online sports game developer Lionside, which was acquired by ngmoco (qua DeNA) in June of this year. Behind Barber (who was also VP of Marketing and Production), Lionside brought sports games to Facebook, and created titles like NBA Legend and Lionside Football.
