Please join us in welcoming our new employees, celebrating staff promotions, and generally bringing some orderliness to our titles. We invited each employee to add as much, or as little, as they would like to share.
New Employees
Alex Speidel, Organized Play Associate
Previously introduced here.
Calliope Taylor, Customer Service Representative
[they/them/she/her]
Calliope is a forever GM and slightly over-enthusiastic tabletop games evangelist. When not embroiled in one weekly RPG game or another, they can be found explaining the finer intricacies of Goblin culture to increasingly uncomfortable looking people in the supermarket frozen food section. You can follow them at @thegriefmop on twitter.
Devinne Caples, HR Generalist
Devinne has an educational background in Human Resources and Leadership and Management. This wife and mother of 3 children and 2 fur babies, is passionate about living life and always strives to do her best in everything. Away from the office she enjoys spending time with friends and family, watching her children play sports and traveling.
Ianara Natividad, Editor
Heya! My name’s Ianara (she/her), and I’m absolutely ecstatic to join the Paizo team as an editor. I’ve played tabletop and roleplaying games for over the past ten years, even running a few campaigns of my own. I hail from South Carolina, where I worked in the nonprofit sector while freelancing as a writer and editor. I regularly contribute to Worldbuilding Magazine, a fantastic community-driven digital publication for all things worldbuilding. When I’m not working, I take naps and play games. I’m also on Twitter, @imachinate.
Eric Powell, Accounting & AP Specialist

Adam Vick, Art Director
Leo Glass, Senior Editor
Leo has worked as an editor at Paizo for 2 years and has contributed to products such as the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide, Starfinder Beginner Box, and Starfinder Character Operations Manual. He holds a B.A. in English with an emphasis in creative writing from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. If you’ve ever overused scare quotes or reflexive pronouns in your freelance turnover for Paizo, there’s a good chance he removed them. He is extremely excited to serve Paizo and his extended family on the editing team as senior editor. He’s also thankful for his loving partner, Ashley, his dog, Rocko, and his cat, Pixel. If you’re a fan of his freelance writing, you can follow him on Twitter @leoglasswrites.

Title Changes
Brian Bauman, Software Architect
Brian has worn a number of hats over his two years at Paizo - some of his favorite pet projects have included making our watermarking service faster and more reliable, quadrupling the speed of our builds, and migrating our database to a more stable cluster solution.
He currently spends most of his days designing and implementing better tools for the developers, designing Paizo’s cloud architecture, and advocating for industry standards and best practices. In his spare time he plays baritone saxophone in a brass street band, sings tenor in a seasonal Victorian caroling quartet, and plays all the board, video and tabletop games he can get his hands on. His adorable dog Cosmo puts up with all of it.
