Key activites: - Strategic/Business Planning - Business Development (market research, partnerships, sales ) - KAM ( companies like Intel & Yamaha ) - Funding Markets expertise: - Consumer Electronics, Digital Entertainment - Japan, China, Russia After more than two years pushing hard for BMAT's success, I've decided that it is time to reduce my involvement with BMAT to an active partner level and advance onto new opportunities, since my interests lie in a slightly different area - confidential so far, so stay tuned for the news. I'll continue my collaboration with BMAT working on some accounts and sharing acquired expertise in specific markets. I'd like to thank all of the BMAT co-founder team and all of our clients & partners who have put their confidence in BMAT. My particular regards to the promoter team: Alex, Pedro, Salvador - I wish you all the best in further developing BMAT!
