Hello there! Iโ€™m a video games producer. In my 15+ years in the industry, I went from coding, game design, and running a game studio to publishing, venture, and consulting.

My passion is about working with talented gamedev teams and helping them achieve their creative ambition.

Drop me a line.

Work

  • ๐Ÿ‘ท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ Iโ€™m a Co-Founder & CEO at Forklift, a publisher dedicated to smart, deep, systemic video games. If you have a game to pitch, reach out here.

  • ๐Ÿค I do a bit of consulting and advise on fundraising, pitching, production, marketing, and other exciting stuff. More on that below ๐Ÿ‘‡

  • ๐Ÿ—๏ธ In a previous chapter, I had been Venture Partner at The Games Fund, overseeing the PC/Console track. Before that, as EP & Publishing Director at tinyBuild, I was running the publishing pipeline, production and marketing.

  • โณ A thousand years ago (give or take), I programmed games for PS2. Then I founded a mobile gaming studio, Aโ€‘Steroids, which created Underworld, an innovative geo-location based MMO, and other games.

  • ๐ŸŽฎ You may have played some of the games I worked on: Pathologic 2, Hellpoint, Cartel Tycoon, Not For Broadcast, Potion Craft, Totally Reliable Delivery Service, Cash Cleaner Simulator, and others.

Some of the advisory stuff I did recently:

  • Created the announcement plan for an upcoming AA adventure game

  • Refined the go-to-market strategy for a self-publishing indie team

  • Helped choose the right publishing partner and negotiate favorable terms

  • Provided ongoing support in business development, production & marketing

  • Helped teams prepare for meetings with publishers and investors

  • Reviewed and polished a few game pitches

If you think I can help, drop me a line or reach out via LinkedIn.
