Thomas Bidaux CEO at ICO Partners

Thomas has been an exemplary advisory board member to GDC Online for the past few years and a great speaker for various GDC conference programs. He is extremely knowledgeable about the game industry as a whole, and the European market in particular. He’s very passionate and dedicated to his work. He's incredibly responsive, even when he's traveling from one end of the world to another, and always a pleasure to see!

Our company hired ICO Partners to gain a snapshot into the European online games market.

What we got in return was far beyond our expectations, with both breadth and depth of data, regular contact to ensure we were getting what we expected, and a final product that should have easily cost several multiples over what we had paid for it.

Thomas was an exemplary manager and a very visionary member of the company. Always looking for a new angle, and driving people forward to do their jobs to the best of their ability.

It has been a real pleasure to work with Thomas, he is extremely bright and has a very deep knowledge about online games and brilliant insights combined to strong business and human skills. He analyses situations in the blink of an eye and always proposes pertinent solutions, and he understands all the details while never losing sight of the big picture.

Thomas was my first boss, and I feel very lucky to have had the chance to work with him. I have learned a lot at his side; all the basics that I still use in my work today. He completely understands gamers, their needs, and gaming trends, and is one of the most talented individuals in the gaming industry. If given the occasion, do not hesitate to work with him!

Thomas has good knowledge about western online game market. He is very well connected in his region and always helpful to others. He is definately great asset to global publisher.

Thomas was one of the best spokesperson at France Telecom / GOA while I was working on the promotion of Dark Age of Camelot in Europe - his passion for the game, his professionalism and vision are among the very best in the industry.
It was a great pleasure to work with such a very smart and reliable person. I would definitely recommend him.

Always on the lookout for the next big thing, and always working on (seemingly) twenty things at once, Thomas has quietly but carefully expanded NCsoft's product portfolio while handling the varying demands of developers worldwide.

Thomas has been instrumental in the success of the 4th Prophecy and Dark Age of Camelot in Europe - his skill and vision are among the very best in the industry. It's been a real pleasure to work with him.

Starting as an intern at FT/GOA, I was managed by Thomas and found that he has not only a wide knowledge and a broad skill set related to the game industry, but also is very good at managing teams to get the best out of people.
