As the US representative, I am responsible for client management and overall direction of several apps in parallel. We work with a diverse set of companies from major corporations like Dannon and Scholastic to startups. I am particularly skilled at product vision, client coordination and project management for games, educational apps and consumer branded mobile apps. When I started, I inherited a team that was struggling to deliver quality products and correspondingly losing money. In a few short months, I successfully completed three troubled projects, signed several new titles and turned the group to profitability. Since then, we have released four additional apps with several more on the way for release this summer and fall. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rocket-runner/id630590568?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skinz-golf/id526583205?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scholastic-leader-dashboard/id624061827?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/get-burstified!/id605864190?mt=8
