She has worked at the company Visyon of Grup Mediapro and as a freelance Creative Director and Technology Consultant for various agencies and companies. She has taught at the European Institute of Design (IED), The Valley Business School and the Barcelona School of Creativity.

In addition to Jimena Tormo, the configuration of the new Gaming & IPs unit is completed with Marta Freixas as Gaming & Web3 Specialist, and Francisco Asensi Viana as advisor to the department. As Head of Gaming & Interactive, Tormo will be in charge of defining the strategies, creative proposals and business models of DeAPlaneta Entertainment's division dedicated to developing and distributing high-quality interactive family content.

On this appointment, Jimena Tormo expressed her enthusiasm: “I am ready and very excited about this new professional chapter, which offers me the possibility of expanding my field of action beyond the creative-technological sphere. It is a challenge that motivates me deeply, as it is not enough to produce impactful products and narratives that grow our IPs in the world of gaming and immersive experiences, we must ensure that they are highly profitable and that they build communities of passionate and engaged fans," stated.

Finally, Diego Ibáñez Belaustegui, Chief Brand Officer of DeAPlaneta Kids & Family, understood the strategy as a way to reach wider audiences: “Gaming and interactive applications provide IPs with greater immersive capabilities and expanded storytelling, and also allow us to reach a wider audience. Jimena will bring us a substantial improvement in the way our IPs are designed, helping us to create interactive tools for our existing properties," added.
