I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Charlie for a few years now and he is the complete package. His deep digital sales knowledge along with his partner/account management experience has been an extraordinary asset as we’ve worked together to optimize Bethesda’s PlayStation business. Charlie was not only great working across PlayStation teams, but he was also our internal champion who worked tirelessly across Bethesda’s numerous teams around the world to leave no stone unturned. Charlie’s a rock-star hire and any company would be lucky to have him.

I enjoy dealing with Charlie at his new role. Thanks to him we were able to finalise our long time discussions on Bethesda's back-catalogue and release it on our platform. He was a real believer of this partnership and did a lot to make it happen. His huge experience in games industry and knowledge of the market always lead to proper decisions that he had to take through our negotiation process.
