Question: How did you get into the sports games industry?

Answer: It was just by a coincidence! We had a web agency at that time and we had the opportunity to develop a web-based game that was surprisingly a success! From that moment on, we have been focused on this hectic industry.

Q: What is the best part of being a CEO?

A: I guess that it is to know about everything that it’s happening in the company and try to guide all the employees in the right direction to drive the company to the point we want.

Q: Could you list some leadership tips?

A: I guess that there are different leadership styles out there… My style (it does not have to be the better) is to empathize with employees. They have to feel that I’m always keen to help everyone. I’m the first involved in the success of the projects.

Q: What skills do you look for in the people for your team?

A: Implication. In this crazy industry where things change every month, it is not so important your previous knowledge but how implicated you are with what’s happening right now and try to improve!

Q: How do you motivate your team to achieve the best results?

A: Trying to talk to them very often. Being transparent with what we’re looking for and how it’s going on in the company. Listening to them.

Q: Tell us about a successful result achieved as a team and how did you get it.

A: We have achieved work with many official licenses since we created the company. That has been thanks to the effort of everyone, from the one in charge of our communities to the person dealing with the different associations to sign the agreements.

Q: What do you expect from the future of the industry? What needs to be improved?

A: Industry is evolving all the time and it’s almost impossible to predict what it will look like in 6 months… but I would like not to be so dependent on Google and Apple, our two main distribution channels.

Q: Do you have any idea how many emails you send per day?

A: Hahaha, that is a good question… Sometimes I feel that my main task is sending emails…. I don’t know…. Maybe 20-30… They are too many but I have to say that writing some of them takes me more than an hour!

Q: What is the app you use the most in your daily life?

A: Spotify, Webull… and WhatsApp & Instagram, although I’m trying to use them the less the better.

Q: What is the first thing you do when you get home and disconnect from work?

A: I work from home so that situation never happens!! Hahaha… What I usually do to disconnect is to practice sports! I love it. Besides that, I also play guitar to relax… I’m not good at it but I feel good!

Q: What would you do if you won the lottery?

A: Travel more and further!
