Having expertise in operations leadership, strategic planning, product development and partner alliances, Karamouzis has conceptualized and launched what became one of the largest media entertainment networks in Canada and 3 successful business sales.
Karamouzis purchased AddictingGames (www.addictinggames.com) and quickly built AddictingGames into one of the most visit websites in the world. In 2005 AddictingGames was sold to Atom Entertainment.
