Over the course of 2012, PlayHaven has seen a 484 percent increase in monthly game sessions and a 425 percent increase in the number of games on its network.
"We're thrilled to add Charles to the PlayHaven team," said Andy Yang, CEO of PlayHaven.

PlayHaven is uniquely positioned to help developers address these challenges. I look forward to working with the company and providing developers the tools to succeed in this dynamic and rapidly evolving market."
