Testronic :

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: After over a decade with Testronic, CEO Mike Betti has announced his intention to step down to take up a senior management role at H. Betti Industries, a global distributor of location-based amusement equipment, parts, and services.


Under Betti’s tenure, Testronic has grown nearly ten-fold in size and today has over 2,000 employees providing outsourced development services to the games, film, and TV industries from ten locations across the globe. The Testronic group also encompasses Giant Worldwide (TV and film QA and Localisation) and Secret 6 (2D and 3D art plus game development services).


Pete Opperman, Chairman of Catalis Group, said: “We are extremely grateful to Mike for his dedication and hard work in growing Testronic into the global customer-focussed testing business that it is today. With Testronic, Giant Worldwide, and Secret 6, he and his team have built a solid platform for delivering world-class entertainment production services. We wish him all the best in his new role.”  


Testronic’s outgoing CEO Mike Betti commented: “It has been a hard decision to step away from Testronic, but with the excellent leadership team in place, I leave the business strongly positioned to continue to grow. My time at Testronic has been incredible and I want to thank all our customers and colleagues for their support over the years. I look forward to watching the company continue to flourish in the period ahead.”


Catalis Group CEO Steve Trowbridge will work closely with the Testronic senior leadership team during the transition period, with Mike Betti continuing to provide consultancy services to Testronic following his departure.
