Chief Executive Officer
We push boundaries
Ten years in and every day we’re finding new ways to break new ground. Machine Zone’s culture is passionate, collaborative and encourages the kind of innovation and calculated risk needed to maintain our position as a global leader in mobile gaming.
Founded in 2008, Machine Zone pioneered free-to-play mobile gaming. Our ethos is to push the boundaries of what is technically possible, and we’re proud of our bold heritage of creating the first MMO on iOS. It’s our competitive spirit and deep wealth of experience that makes us unmatched in the industry today.
The results speak for themselves. Three of our titles to date, Game of War: Fire Age in 2013, Mobile Strike in 2015, and Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire in 2017 are already among the highest-grossing games ever on mobile.
The same spirit you find in our games carries over into our headquarters: everyone here makes an impact, and together we have built something extraordinary.
