Mike is currently the Vice President of Marketing for Zipline Games, where he’s focused on building up both the Moai Game Development Platform and Zipline’s Mobile Games Studio.
Mike is an inventor and product leader at heart. His professional passion is inventing new product ideas that solve real problems, hammering out designs that are simple and enjoyable to use, and working day in and day out with great teams to make these ideas into reality. He gets his biggest thrills by interacting with and improving products in progress, learning from the market as it reacts to products, and seeing things really gel when a great product/market fit is achieved.
Mike has built products and led teams for close to 15 years, most recently as the head of Breakthrough Mobile, and as an executive focused on mobile products and internet services at Photobucket and Ontela. Prior to his start-up work, Mike spent nearly a decade leading the development of new products and improving some of the most-used software in the world at Microsoft.
