Discord appoints former Twitch exec as head of publisher relations

Video game voice and text chat specialist Discord has appointed industry veteran Andy Swanson as its new head of publisher relations.

“As Discord has grown, we’ve continuously had publishers and game developers asking us how to best interact with our community” said Jason Citron, Discord founder and CEO.

He’ll be doing something similar at Discord, and has been tasked with teaching devs and publishers how to best implement the company’s voice and text chat across the video game ecosystem.
