Combined Effect owns and operates companies such as Raw Fury, Fury Studios, Kakehashi and Neon Doctrine. I get to head the chess table.

I have invested in various companies and sat on various boards for years (probably way too long). Probably proof of experience garnered through the 10.000 hours theory does not an expert make. But, hey…

In my role I actively try to undo and distort the fabric of reality and stitch it back together in a way that best suits my personal needs, disregarding any potential negative consequences that don’t affect numero uno - me. My activities sometimes lead to the creation of black holes, so I’m almost like a live-action Cern accelerator. I look like one too.I’m responsible for “strategy” and “vision”. I achieve this by chugging down a few glasses of something nasty and then gazing into a crystal ball I got somewhere while on a “business trip”. Then I just copy/paste something from the internet and call it mine.I follow a lot of industry loudmouths on Twitter and then repeat their tweets as my own thoughts during staff meetings to look smart. It doesn't work but I do it anyway.I hate the word “moist” so I thought I’d work it into my relevant experience. Moist. There you go.What’s up with garden gnomes? Why is it like their eyes follow you around when you walk past one?Oh - I've also mastered falling asleep while I ramble and spew out semi-incoherent jargon words strung together to form something that sounds like business-speak. Like “There’s clearly synergistic effects in play that could affect the current paradigm shift of this industry vertical while at the same time future trends might lead to uncertainty in certain dynamic market sectors”. That’s clearly an experience. Usually an unpleasant one for those I’m supposedly talking to.

Paradox isn’t exactly known for their mobile games. Should tell you everything about how amazing of a job I did.

I assisted a number of companies in the games industry with overall strategy, business development, experience design, funding and monetization. Clients included:* Super Evil Megacorp. Hard Core mobile games developer stacked with senior talent. Recently raised $15 million in financing. (http://www.superevilmegacorp.com/)* Star Stable. Operates one of the biggest MMOGs for girls.

Meteor is a Seattle based games publisher that lunched HAWKEN in 2012. I analyzed, influenced and helped build the company’s European publisher, PR and Marketing strategy. Amongst other things I scouted out locations for potential PnL center buildup, I researched country specific markets and brought my vast Free-2-Play experience to the table. I reviewed financial projections for the entire organization, sourced potential community management and customer service partners, and worked directly with the CEO on reviewing potential new game concepts.

Gogogic was an independent mid-core game developer that specialized in multiplayer/MMO games for browser and mobile devices. The company developed and published a number of its own titles between 2006 and 2013. Gogogic also produced games for Nickelodeon, NBC Universal, Fresh Games, Big Fish Games, and others. As CEO and Creative Director I led the company through several rounds of angel and VC funding, closed major publishing and distribution deals, was responsible for business development, bottom line reporting, vision and strategy. I managed the company through difficult transitions and provided the creative foundation for most of the major titles produced – including cult-hit browser-based MMOG Vikings of Thule.

Led system architecture and design of a distributed online system specifically designed for credit rating and reporting. The system was ultimately deployed in 26 countries around the globe.
