About

I help Gaming Professionals level up their careers and secure higher-paying roles. Most of my clients are struggling with: - Not getting recognized for their achievements - Getting underpaid compared to their skills and market value - Not knowing how to get a raise (but want one) - Being unable to progress their career forward And so, I take them through a process to land them at a higher salary role: 1. Understand your personal impact on the business 2. Define what you want in a new role 4. Create your own growth plan 5. Design a business case for your own growth/promotion 6. Build strategic alliances with stakeholders and decision makers 7. Execute and iterate Using this process, I've helped 30+ gaming professionals level up: - Helped David secure a 20% salary increase with 3 job offers in 2 months - Guided Jeff to a senior producer role with a 15% raise in 4 months - Assisted Zach in landing a director position at a studio 2 months post-layoff If you’re a professional in the Gaming Industry who wants to land a higher-salary role, Click “Book a Discovery Call” at the top of my profile to see how I can help you.

Chief Coach | Helping Mid-Career Gaming Pros Get Hired Company

Aug 2022 – Present · 3 yrs 8 mos · Singapore / Global · Remote

I help mid-career gaming professionals get noticed, get interviews, and get hired by building the visibility, narrative, and leverage they’ve never been taught.
The Problem: Most talented industry pros are stuck in the "Cinderella Trap"—working hard, staying quiet, and hoping to be noticed. They rely on "hope-based" applications that disappear into the void.
The Solution: I teach a gaming-specific system to transform "invisible experts" into high-leverage candidates who attract opportunities instead of chasing them. We focus on:
Strategic Narrative: Positioning your experience so hiring managers instantly trust you.
The Visibility Engine: Getting known in your niche without feeling "cringe."
Insider Leverage: Using the rules of hiring I learned as a Regional Leader at Riot Games.
The Results: My clients have landed roles, promotions, and raises at studios including: EA, Blizzard, Riot Games, Dreamhaven, Microsoft Gaming and SEGA.
