Benjamin VALLAT

SAN FRANCISCO

En résumé

I’m a seasoned multilingual tech executive with a proven ability to develop businesses and deliver growth through strategic partnerships.

Successfully identified, structured, negotiated, and executed complex projects and alliances with a wide array of verticals: mobile operators, OEMs, ODMs, large tech players such as Apple, Google or Amazon.

I love promoting innovative products - esp. in mobile / gaming / marketplaces / IoT - and did it managing talented teams in the US, Brazil and Europe:
- Led global platforms partnerships at Gameloft generating $150M/year (+38% YoY).
- Positioned Gameloft as #2 mobile game publisher worldwide across all app stores.
- Drove revenue growth from $0 to $12M in 3 years in Brazil.

Leader, self-starter, excellent at cross group collaboration (business, product, engineering).
Solid product/marketing background thanks to previous PM roles within a leading CPG company.
