About me

As a CPO and producer, I am confident that games are, first of all, business, and then they are art. DDD and KPI Management are the best market approaches by far.

I provide consulting for mobile free2play products and gather analytical data, especially on the US market. Today, I am using my extensive experience and expertise to assist with several projects which are both enjoyable and inspirational. One can get valuable insights by working with professional teams, the insights you want to share with your industry partners and friends.
