About J. Eckert
With 19 years of experience in the video game industry, I am a seasoned and versatile professional who thrives on creating and nurturing ecosystems that enhance the user experience, foster innovation, and drive growth.I have a proven track record of crafting and executing the strategy and vision for developer relations, corporate communications, community, support, thought leadership, events, and corporate culture functions of a company, wearing the proverbial "many hats" when scaling startups from 10 to 100+ employees, and overseeing the day-to-day operations, building a company culture, and establishing best practices and frameworks for success.I've also developed and managed strategic partnerships with third-party developers, platforms, and organizations across the gaming and blockchain domains, leveraging my extensive network and expertise. I am passionate about empowering and engaging the community, delivering value and quality, and being a fixer... solving complex and challenging problems in creative ways, as well as being adept in the soft skills of understanding the corporate legal world, often being the "Carrot" external parties encounter in hopes of never having to use the Legal team's "stick".Outside of work, I am a life-long gamer, hobbyist photographer, and an avid maker… as well as Board Member for the Non-Profit managing the Las Vegas Hackerspace/Makerspace SYN Shop.

Vp Of Ecosystem Operations
To quote a colleague: “Wrangler of cats, organizer of chaos, sharer of bad news, culture warrior/dissident, and mitigator of foot guns”. More precisely, I crafted and defined Chia’s Ecosystem team, and lead strategy and execution from the ground up across Developer Relations, Corporate Communications, Community, Support, Thought Leadership, Events, and Corporate Culture. I was also a member of Chia’s executive leadership team, tasked with shaping company-wide strategy and plans. Additionally, lent a hand in growing us from 15 to 80 people over 2 years

No trivial task, as I had to navigate the era of COVID in real time, taking us from an in-person company to fully remote, without the luxury of the many-years of learning we now have to lean on.

3Rd Party Ecosystem Director
Leading the 3rd Party Ecosystem team and the efforts of several sub-teams around Developer Relations, Strategic Partner relations, Ecosystem insight, and various other related areas. The elevator pitch I tell most people is "If it's external to Riot and impacts players of League of Legends, it is somewhere on our team's spectrum of "we know you exist" to "working closely with you" (or alternatively, working to protect the players from potential harm).Our team drives community engagement with the Riot API, fosters and maintains partnerships with third-party developers, manages day to day relationships with strategic partners, and works with the API dev team to guide it's further development with player-focus in mind. We also provide resources to Product and R&D teams to help give insight and data to intelligently shape their plans based on related aspects of the 3rd Party Ecosystem. If you want to find out more about the API itself, check out the dev portal at developer.riotgames.com!
