Bio
Guy Cunis
I have known and worked with Ross for over 20 years, and throughout our time together Ross has consistently displayed an aptitude both in his technical expertise in his daily functions, and as an excellent team leader. He is an engaging and empathetic individual, capable of driving his teams to excellence, supporting multiple complex projects simultaneously, and balances key strategic decision-making with customer engagement. We have worked on dozens of projects together throughout the years, but for me the standout work that he achieved will always be his management of the gamescom projects. Gamescom is the largest video games convention in the world, and Ross’ management of the massive and incredibly complex scale of our presence has always been exemplary. His planning for the event represented a multi-million-euro budget and spanned around nine months of work every year. Ross consistently proved himself to be the most valuable member of the project; he would act as the project

Ross is a unique leader capable of balancing subject matter expertise, skill, and compassion in a high-profile esports and PR environment. Over the years I've admired his ability to guide a very diverse, international team into embracing new challenges and staying ahead of trends. He does so by knowing how to best help them, championing their needs, promoting their achievements, and capitalizing on their strengths.
