ππ½ Iβm an interactive media and web3 exec and founder who has been in gaming for over a decade and most recently in the blockchain industry. Currently, Iβm Head of Strategy and Partnerships at Sequence, where I lead stratops and support ecosystems, developers, and enterprises in unlocking the benefits of web3 create novel studio and company economics and reward users. I believe web3 is a backbone to solve universal challenges including user acquisition, monetization, and retention, and industries like gaming and media are uniquely poised to benefit from this technology. I write about this, as well as the gaming and web3 space broadly, here.
Previously, I ran business development, partnerships, creator programs, IP licensing, content, and strategy for the NFT collectibles and gamified marketplace of Animoca Brands.
Before this, I was part of the founding exec team and VP of Business Development & Product at SuperData Research, the world's leading provider of data and strategy in digital games, esports, VR, and gaming video content. SuperData was acquired by Nielsen in 2018 π¦ and I stayed on as a VP there until starting another company, Britesiders.
At SuperData, I led biz dev, product strategy, and partnerships, while crafting the interactive media strategies for some of the worldβs largest gaming companies such as EA, Epic, Riot, and Activision; media like HBO, Fox, Disney, Warner Bros; brands like Coca Cola and Mars; big tech like Facebook, Google, Twitch, Apple; and every hedge fund involved in games.
I launched two industry-changing platforms π, the SuperData Arcade and Arena.
After Nielsen, I cofounded Britesiders, a platform for gamified, interactive charity crowdfunding that raised 300% π more than any other fundraising method. We got up to a lot of shenanigans.
Iβm a gamer at heart, and have seen (and helped spur forward) some of the biggest shifts in the space over the last decade+. Physical -> Digital -> Subscription -> F2P -> The future. I believe that web3 technology underpins the next evolution in gaming, and that it will fundamentally change how companies harness the internet while unlocking net-new opportunities and experiences for players and consumers.
