Bio
Phil Tran
Charles was a tremendous asset when we set up Glass Egg with his capacity and willingness to step up and help out wherever needed, which is critical in a start up environment. He also has an amazing ability to get along with anyone from any culture, the empathy to understand where they are coming from and what their needs are. His ability to understand what other team members need to get the job done and unusually clear communication skills were also an asset. Charles was able to understand the technology we work with at a fairly deep level. All of these traits added up to an individual who brought direct measurable financial value to Glass Egg with a keen eye on long term, mutual beneficial relationships.

I had the pleasure of working with Charles during my time as interim CEO of PointMMO, a startup in the games technology space. Charles was our Head of Business Development. Among his responsibilities he was tasked with: - Identifying relevant potential partners and leads, based on the businesses needs and overall strategy - Establishing impactful contacts and relationships with leading games companies - Planning and executing business agreements with games developers and publishers across North America, Europe and Asia - Managing established B2B relationships to enable a constant flow of new content additions to the platform - Leading the negotiations to establish detailed terms of engagement with partners and managing the relationship to the point of contract signing - Support the business strategy and targets with pushing relevant KPI driven activities Charles was a key member of the companies management team, and an essential part of the success of the company. His contributions enabled us to grow the business substantially within a very short amount of time and make an impact on the market. He surpassed our expectations by activating and utilizing his extensive global network of contacts and brought in dozens of qualified leads, and signing a multitude of high profile partners in a very short amount of time. Charles is highly driven, focussed and organized, and immediately gained the trust of the management team. He integrated quickly into the team and at the same time can work highly independent. He communicates effectively internally and externally, and voices his concerns and opinions in a concise and factual matter. One of his strong traits is the ability to communicate complex technical matters to all parties involved in a simple and effective way. Charles’ reputation as a reliable business partner and employee is based on years of being in the industry, and reflected by a network of contacts which in its depth and broadness is rare to be found in our industry. Aside of all that, Charles is a genuinely nice and intelligent person, that can be relied on to get the job done. I can wholeheartedly recommend you take the opportunity to get to know him, and would personally welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
