Bio
Daniel Enriquez
Max is very focused in all he does, always researching for hours or days before taking any action, so, as Studio Manager he tend to take the same approach, every decision made is based on data and this leads to projects on budget and on time. Max trust their peers and this create a very dynamic and productive relationship.
Adrian Gimate-Welsh
Since his beginning at Gameloft, Max has always been present on complex situations, always been trustable and open to challenges. After few years working together, Max managed, by his results, to become the natural choice for replacing me, upon my departure, on Mexicali's Studio Management role. Max is a sharp and technical manager who also understands human feelings, and this allows him to know what to expect, what to request and what to promise. Those are precious abilities in any good manager. I would definitely be glad work with him again and I recommend him for any management position.
