Mike Evans

I’m Mike Evans.

I lead production teams and build operating systems for strategy, planning, delivery, and execution.

Over the past 15 years I've worked across the gaming industry, including five years living and working in Japan. Today I lead production at Bethesda.net.

This site is where I share projects, frameworks, tools, and lessons learned from building products, teams, and organizations.

You can find me on LinkedIn or reach out by email.
