Why consider working with me?

What I teach is backed by 16 years of industry experience - out there, meeting and pitching to hundreds, possibly thousands of people, while working at Publishers, Developers and Service Providers. Working with me and my courses helps my clients and students fast-track through the ins and outs of Games Industry Business Development, avoid common mistakes and work efficiently and effectively.

But above all, I have over the years built what I consider any Business Developers biggest asset - an amazing network of people that I genuinely treasure and who trust me, which opens doors and from which opportunities often simply fall into my lap. 

That wasn't magic, or years of luck.
It's a teachable combination of authenticity, honesty and "0% shady" business practices, because losing someone's trust is much easier than gaining it in the first place, and bad deals always come back to haunt you. 

It's a privilege to be in a position to pass on what I have learned, and doing my part in making sure games stays an amazing industry to work in.


Best,
