As a Founder, I can share my robust, first hand knowledge of how interactive technology’s best executive teams operate across legal, HR, marketing, finance, product, engineering and more

Pioneering Technology & Product leadership; video games tech & infrastructure, visual compute, cloud gaming, VR, systems, software, and hardware is in my DNA.
