What I'm looking for
As a product leader with over 15 years of experience in the gaming industry, I have a proven track record of scaling live service operations and optimizing game economies. My expertise lies in driving revenue growth through digital marketplaces, having successfully managed products that generate over $150 million in annual revenue. I excel at balancing user acquisition, retention, and monetization to achieve sustainable success.
In my most recent role as Head of Product at N3twork Studios, I led the product roadmap and go-to-market strategy, ensuring alignment with business objectives. I managed cross-functional teams, including game design, engineering, and live operations, while developing and optimizing game economies and on-chain assets for sustained engagement in a web3 product. My previous experience at Electronic Arts and Glu Mobile as a Lead Product Manager allowed me to own game roadmaps and design monetization models that improved engagement and revenue.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to utilize data-driven decision-making to refine game features and optimize economies. I am passionate about creating engaging player experiences and driving ongoing engagement through live operations and content updates.
