As Founder & CEO of Eastedge Studios and Chief Delivery Officer at Matic, he blends product vision, hands-on game and blockchain engineering, and go-to-market experience delivering work for mobile-first brands with a combined audience north of 65 million. Previously an EVP at Bottle Rocket, he helped scale teams from single digits to 160+ employees while incubating VR, wearables and analytics-driven engagement products.
