PAST WORK
Game Development Framework
Jointly led a small team to establish a new milestone/gating process to apply to both internal and third-party development as a means to verify progress, validate quality, and provide transparency in decision-making across the organization. This process, called the Game Development Framework (GDF), is currently in use at NCSOFT.
M&A Targeting & Tactical Planning
Spearheaded an initiative to establish a core strategy and tactical plan for M&A activities for NCSOFT and drove the development of a data-backed system that allows the company to estimate monetary valuation for companies and assess a target’s strengths and weaknesses. This work allowed the team to put together priority lists across industry segments for potential outreach for acquisition.
