Au revoir and thanks to Matt Curtis

All AIE staff join together to wish AIE Head of School Matt Curtis well as he leaves us to take up a position back in a production role.

Matt is one of the founders of AIE Melbourne coming to the campus after a successful career in game development. He initially worked as Senior Programming Teacher under David Giles before taking up the Head of School role eighteen months ago.

Matt said “ I've been involved with the AIE Melbourne campus from the start and I'm very proud of the things I've been able to do here but reluctantly I've decided it's time for me to move on”. “The AIE rightfully has an unmatched reputation as the best training provider for the games industry”, Matt added, “I consider myself very fortunate to have been part of that. I will continue to be involved with the AIE as an advisor and friend and I am sure it will continue to raise the bar and lead the way”.

AIE CEO Ian Gibson said “Matt has been absolutely instrumental in continuing to establish AIE Melbourne as the Centre of Excellence for the games industry in Victoria. The great industry relationships and fantastic employment rates are a testament to his popularity and expertise”.

Matt will continue to be associated with AIE as a member of its Advisory Board.

AIE hopes to make an announcement about its new Melbourne campus Head of School within the next few weeks.
