Founder, CEO & Product Executive | Built Products to $50M+ Revenue | ex-Microsoft, Zynga, Hike

About

I've spent the last 25+ years building products, games, and technology businesses across Microsoft, Zynga, Hike, Moonfrog, and most recently as the founder of MHXP. My career has been driven by one passion—building products and services that customers love and businesses that scale. I've led products used by hundreds of millions of users, owned a $50M gaming business, helped build and scale global product organizations, and taken products from concept to market across gaming, enterprise SaaS, AI, collaboration, and immersive technologies. I enjoy solving complex customer problems, building high-performing teams, and creating products that deliver measurable business impact. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to work across startups and global companies, leading product strategy, LiveOps, P&L, platform development, and organizational transformation. Areas of interest: CXO Leadership • AI • Gaming • Consumer Products • LiveOps • Product Strategy • Studio Leadership • Digital Twins • Founder-led Innovation • General Management
