He has 20+ years of senior-level experience in the theme park, digital media and video gaming industries, and is a recognized expert in interactive media finance and advises both investors and media companies worldwide. As an independent advisor, Marc has arranged and managed more than $150 million in project and equity financing. In the G4C and serious gaming arenas, Marc recently advised on the set up of a Canadian-Californian cooperative initiative to use social gaming to “nudge” consumers toward better carbon-reduction behavior, and is currently spearheading a K-12 adaptive language learning game for use in US schools. Prior to working as an independent strategic and financial advisor, Marc served as CEO of independent game developer Player 1 Inc in Santa Monica where he built and managed partnerships with industry leaders including Sega, Midway, Interplay, and Universal and successfully produced a diverse portfolio of console video game titles for the PlayStation and Nintendo consoles. Prior to Player 1, Marc led corporate development for video game publisher Atari/Infogrames Entertainment SA (France).
