BigWorld, a leading technology provider of online games middleware, today announced the recent signing of Phil Adam as President to head up a newly formed distribution and operator division that will initially focus on operating online games in South Asia for existing and new clients.
Adam brings to BigWorld over 25 years' experience in setting up and running software publishing and distribution companies including Spectrum HoloByte, which he co-founded, with established hits like Tetris and Falcon. He also headed sales, marketing and business development for Interplay before becoming President. Adam's dedication to Interplay saw it grow from a small developer to an established international software publisher/distributor. Adam has served as chairman of the board for the Software Publishers Association (SPA) as well as the Government Affairs Committee of the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA).
BigWorld CEO John De Margheriti commented, "It's very exciting to welcome Phil to our already robust team. He brings a solid track record in establishing and running successful distribution organizations and this is an instrumental step in establishing our company as one of the premier distributors and operators of content in the MMO space. I'm confident that Phil will help us to make a real splash in these markets, initially in South Asia, then into North America.
"I am thrilled to be joining a company that has established itself as one of the leading MMO middleware technology companies in the gaming software industry, said Adam. "This is an incredible opportunity and it's going to be a lot of fun adding this extra dimension to our existing business model. The current technology division and the new division go hand in hand, so it's a really positive thing for BigWorld's existing clients, particularly those whose games are nearing completion and ready for the next step - distribution to help them maximize revenue and market share.
