Super helpful! Very "smart" thought process. Will be calling again soon.
Source: Clarity Iman Sakka Apr 23, 2018Eugene delivered clear, concise, relevant, and actionable information. My call with him was very valuable.
Source: Clarity greg weinstein Apr 21, 2017Eugene was very helpful, giving me some excellent advice and insights to help execute my vision.
Source: Clarity Ara Kevonian Mar 22, 2016Excellent and very fruitful conversation with Eugene. He was able to analyze my idea and to re-articulate it in a way which creates more value for the different stake-holders. A great call!
Source: Clarity Christian Baudry Mar 25, 2014Eugene is one of a very few game executives who understands both the art and science of rolling out a MMO globally, having done so twice (DAOC and Warhammer Online). Eugene shown in his ability to get results with alien cultures: with foreign licensees, of course, for one, and also from the boxed-game corporate cultures of Vivendi and EA, which had relatively little or no sympathy with the make-or-break service elements of a MMO. His thoroughly professional execution at Infinite on a multiple-title license and development project with me was, by comparison, a modest accomplishment to the MMO rollouts.
Source: LinkedIn Eric Goldberg Apr 28, 2013Eugene is a bright, thoughtful, positive, reasoned and reasonable pro. He's win-win oriented, knows when to say yes and when to say no. A comfortable team player as well as a reliable solo act. And as if that weren't enough...terrific sense of humor.
Source: LinkedIn Stephen Gass Apr 28, 2013I have known Eugene for a long time. About 1980 he started working for us at Microdigital, an early computer store, on his Saturdays and holidays. He was in his mid teens then. Later I was a consultant to Bug Byte where he worked and then we worked together at Imagine. We have kept in touch ever since.
So Eugene has been steeped in the home computing industry and video gaming since the early days. To this vast experience you can add a sharp intelligence, the ability to work hard (whilst still having fun) and good social skills. But mostly you have to admire his ability to put all his effort behind measured risks, which has done him a great deal of good. If you are not making risks then you are not making anything.
The best way I can write a recommendation for Eugene is to list the adjectives that come to mind when I think about him after having worked with him for 4 years. They are as follows:
Personable, dedicated, caring, a team player, highly knowledgeable of the games industry, insightful, reliable, trustworthy; a co-worker that became a good friend.
Source: LinkedIn Mark Gagne Apr 28, 2013Eugene is a true collaborator and mentor. He gets the best out of people, with an easy-going style that fills one with confidence. He is practical, responsible, good at figuring out the best way to get something done; he's a great strategist and problem-solver. He's a colleague and friend, to whom I turn to for advice and counsel. I recommend him highly!
Source: LinkedIn Melinda Fishman Jones Apr 28, 2013I've known Eugene for over 15 years, and I have always been impressed by his intellect, honesty and integrity. He also has a keen ability to understand advanced technology and ascertain the commercial potential of various technologies. It was an honor to have worked with Eugene and I am proud to call him my friend.

JCJeremy CookeGame studio Director - connected digital future. • Cambridge UKFor the last 17 years I have been employed as Business development Director/CEO at a small number of game development/publishing businesses. Primarily facilitating the commercial means to support and sustain creative and technical excellence in the development of world class products according to the game development mantra – “on time, within budget and to an exceptionally high standard”. I have negotiated and secured countless development, distribution and publishing deals and contracts, routinely deal with legal advisors and have raised £m’s in in grant and equity funding. I am a confident presenter, an effective communicator and a strong team player. Business development and blue chip key account management is my forte. 12 years ago, I secured $10m equity investment and established a Cambridge HQ for Midas Interactive. I employed the management team, secured the product development strategy and put an effective global sales and distribution structure in place. 10 years ago I acquired, via Gameware Europe Ltd., all of the assets and IP in world renowned Cambridge studio Creature Labs Ltd. and now own the historic ‘Creatures’ and ‘James Pond’ IP which are commercially exploited via ongoing publishing partnerships(Creatures online via Bigben, James Pond – Robocod via System 3, digital via Merge Games). Gameware have recently delivered the iOS/Android app “Man United Tricks” together with a proprietary ad server for Zoombugs Ltd with the intention to build upon the MU app via social engagement – developing interactive products that effectively engage and build the fan/community user base. Gameware also delivered 4 series of the BAFTA nominated TV gameshow Bamzooki – empowering users to create 3D creatures online and interact with their user generated digital creations in real time. Connected TV, mobile, PC ++ screens provide a direct to user global communication channel and therefore a huge opportunity for talented, nimble and well funded digital creatives to develop and iterate digital products for global audiences whilst maximising D2C revenues.iphone • Mobile applications • Game Design • Game Development • Augmented Reality • Social Games • Video Games • Mobile Devices • Mobile Games • Computer Games •$1.67/min per minuteNew Arrival— — 0
