About Kim Nordstrom

Release my first game on Commodore 64 in the early 90's as a teenager. Spent my every awake moment in the demo scene until I turned 20.Went on to learn everything "digital" I could find in my early 20'sDecided when I was 25 that creating games was (still) my passion and started by my first game studio. 10 years later as a founder and young leader of several studios I sold everything I had and moved to California with family to build the 1st PlayStation phone. Instead ended up shipping PlayStation 4.Headhunted by King to lead "Pet Rescue Saga" franchise. Generated $500M+ in revenue and grew the studio to 100+ employees.Ventured into the land of business innovation and strategy at Paradox Interactive focusing on creating live experiments to improve engagement and monetization.At the age of 45 I spend most of my time on my core interest of "how can I help you grow your game company" in a way that is successful for you.*Shipped 50+ games and 100+ projects on 10+ platforms during the past 20 years.Find more about me in books "Generation 64" by Jimmy Wilhelmsson and "The Dream Architects" by David Polfeldt*Experienced and passionate about building products and studios. Strong understanding of mixing business, operations and people = foundation for establishing company strategies. Excellent knowledge of game development. Consider myself an Intrapreneur rather then an Entrepreneur. Good team-player, thinks stakeholder management can solve almost everything in large companies. Collected 8-bit consoles, still codes from time to time and sometimes stays up late to do pixel art.
