I joined iCandy Interactive as part of Inzen's acquisition and was responsible for strategic partnerships, investments, as well as acquisitions.

Started Inzen with 4 other former core GAMBIT team members (Zander, Jia Ling, Roland, Chin Hong).Our vision was to connect cultures through games and partially succeeded in doing so before the M&A with iCandy Interactive.I was the CEO and was the Chairman of the Board of Directors pre-acquisition.M&A:Led discussions for Inzen's M&A with.

GAMBIT was a S$50m initiative between the Singapore Government and MIT that focused on 3 things:1. Funding research at Universities2. Running a pre-incubation program to groom industry-ready game development teams.3. Further developing products from 1. and 2. and launching them in the market.Chor Guan (the Executive Director) approached me to join in late.

I was approached by Howard Califano, the Executive Director, to evaluate their inaugural batch of Explorer Grants that would link interesting University Project Teams with S$50k in funding.I then advised the Lovebyte team through their early cycles.

Hampus (Founder) approached me to head up the business and commercial strategy for Nabi. Having spent hours on Toribash, it was an offer I couldn't refuse.Some Highlights:1. Grew our userbase via youtube and community event campaigns - 30,000 to 600,000 users2. Grew retention, by introducing beginner-friendly forums, groups and tutorial bots3. Grew.

I chanced upon this role when I was searching for a move back to Singapore. It was an opportunity to be at the heart of a growing industry at the time. I felt that I'd have the chance to apply the skills that I'd gained through growing Kukan, while developing a macro perspective of the industry.My highlight here was the formation of INVIGORATE, a program.

I met the founders of Kukan at a networking event with the IT Council. They were building a mobile company with both game and tech capabilities and I thought.. COOL, I'd like to try this out.We eventually grew into a 15-person studio providing development services to clients like THQ Wireless (UK), EA Mobile (US), Yahoo (Aus) and ABC (Aus).----I got to cut.

My mentor got me a gig doing strategy research for the Government. It was an interesting job that opened my eyes to what goes on behind the scenes in industry planning and Government support.-----a) Talked to CEOs about their company strategy.b) Asked them who their clients were and why they did what they did.c) Came up with a map that would.

I served here during my National Service, lots of great life lessons!-----I learnt many things; the importance of planning, how to respond calmly and adapt quickly when situations escalate, and most significantly, that missions are accomplished by teams, not individuals.And a big shout-out to my buddy who kept going through most of it.
