Jami is a long-time games industry veteran, who’s career spans from working at Digital Chocolate, EA, Rovio and now at his own company. Jami and his team have been exploring better ways of working on games, and today now he will share these learnings with us. Jami has always had the entrepreneurial spirit and has had several opportunities to start a games company, but situation and circumstances didn’t get aligned until 2014 when the guys started working on Futureplay Games. Learning as a CEO: Reading less nowadays, more talking to people and learning from what they have done, i.e. Ilkka Paananen the CEO of Supercell. You can’t understand everything from books, you need to "walk the walk”. You need to have people who can take on several roles, versatile and experienced people can take you far. Jami and his founding team wanted to start this company from scratch, and have no BS from the previous companies they've been in. No processes, no nailed down decisions, unless if it makes sense for them in this new order. Visit: https://elitegamedevelopers.com/egd-5-how-to-build-a-flat-organization-for-a-games-company/
