About Sean Hinz

With over 15 years of experience in entertainment, I am passionate about creating and publishing exciting products for a worldwide gaming audience. As the Lead Product Manager at Gearbox Publishing, I oversaw the production strategy of the GaaS/f2p mobile portfolio, including Homeworld Mobile and Risk of Rain: Hostile Worlds, among other products that supported live services. I leverage my skills in competitive analysis, market research, data-driven design, cross-functional leadership, external relationship management, and go-to-market planning to deliver high-quality products that meet the needs and expectations of our users and partners. I have improved product stability, grown product audience install base, and am able to ship multiple products in a year. I also have a proven track record of leading transmedia storytelling projects in live-action, animation, and video games, working with clients like Netflix, Microsoft, and HBO Max, in legacy IPs such as Justice League, Risk of Rain, RWBY, Homeworld, gen:LOCK, and Red VS Blue. I am always eager to explore new technologies, tools, and best practices to enhance my craft and contribute to the success of my team and organization.Find my content on;https://www.homeworldmobile.com/https://www.riskofrain.com/http://www.roosterteeth.comhttp://www.youtube.com/deathbattle http://www.youtube.com/roosterteethanimation
