Projects: Impulse Transition, Retail Rollout, GameStop.com Integration
Stardock (2006 – 2011)
Where I got my start in games! Leading off with a stellar round of interviews that included the question “Who are you, and why should I care?”, I set off on a 5 year adventure where I learned how to manage a volunteer team of community managers, test games, and most importantly how to build and operate a global digital distribution business!
