After studying Law and Business at TAU, I quickly realized my passion for technology and computers. I began freelancing as a web developer and nurturing my own startup ideas. Over the next decade, I built two companies focusing on web development, working on diverse projects and gaining valuable experience. This journey allowed me to generate new ideas and explore advanced technologies for my own startup ventures. After 15 years of working and traveling around the world, I joined a larger international group to develop my leadership and sales skills, transitioning from a startup founder to a team member in a big company.
Significant Accomplishments and Success Stories
Throughout my career, I have received CEO of the Year awards and participated in prestigious executive development programs. However, my most significant achievement is the development of a unique invention for which I obtained a provisional patent and created a working prototype. This accomplishment showcases my ability to innovate and bring ideas to life.
Leadership Style and Approach to Driving Growth
I adopt a leadership style that values independence and minimal micro-management. I believe that allowing individuals to work independently fosters the best ideas, execution, and responsibility. By guiding them with the overall strategy and ensuring collaborative efforts, I empower my team members to excel.
Unique Strategies and Initiatives for Differentiation
At Zarzilla Games, we differentiate ourselves by keeping all aspects of our development in-house. Many competitors rely heavily on outsourcing and external technologies, but we prioritize maintaining complete creative and technological control over our products. Despite the additional time, resources, and hard work, having an entire studio of skilled designers, developers, and tech artists enables us to deliver our creative vision, making the journey worthwhile.
Values and Principles Guiding Decision-making
Given the multitude of decision-making approaches, I simplify the process by relying on my intuition and first impressions. I aim to eliminate complexity and approach problems from a straightforward perspective. Trusting my instincts and self-confidence in making the right choices form the foundation of my decision-making process.
Staying Informed and Contributing to Success
I actively participate in industry conventions around the world at least 2-3 times a year. These conventions offer valuable opportunities to network with industry leaders, stay updated on trends, and foster collaborations. By continuously improving our skills and expanding our connections, this knowledge contributes to our success as a business leader.
Key Factors Contributing to Success
One of the most significant factors that have contributed to my success is maintaining a constant focus on the big picture and not getting distracted by obstacles. As I’ve gained experience, I’ve become more patient and composed in the face of difficulties. This ability to stay fixed on goals is essential for a business leader.
Future Aspirations as a Business Leader
Looking ahead, my aspirations involve Zarzilla Games growing as a game developer and publisher. We aim to build a diverse games portfolio and become one of the world’s largest and most creative game studios. Our vision includes reaching millions of people with our games and nurturing a strong Zarzilla fan community.
By adhering to these principles and pursuing our vision, I envision myself and Zarzilla Games evolving into prominent contributors in the gaming industry.
