Omar Ramirez
@omarramirez1
I build and launch gaming, mobile app, and digital product businesses from idea to revenue.
What I'm looking for
I've taken Merit Circle DAO's NFT gaming community from a greenfield proposal to delivery, owning P&L, budgeting, agency delivery, and a three-year roadmap. I use Marty Cagan's approach to Scrum to build products that matter.
Across Azerion, SpilGames, Chartboost, and Pollen VC, I've launched HTML5 game funnels, built developer partnerships, created monetization and user-acquisition flows, and managed up to $1,000,000 in quarterly UA spend per client. I have worked with 90% of the top-grossing games in EMEA and helped developers set KPIs, calculate LTV, and take games from soft launch to global launch.
I also founded Antara Apps BV, growing the team and taking mobile-app concepts from proof of concept through marketing and distribution. Earlier work in finance, valuation, and transfer pricing strengthened my commercial, analytical, and operational foundation.
Experience
