Yannis Mercier

With nearly 20 years of experience in NTIC and the media industries as an entrepreneur, started my first company and pioneered the software development with the first massively multi-players online game (MMOG), based on a business model of online subscription and prepaid cards. I co-founded Vibes Company in France in 1996, to develop and market the first 3D online game, then a subsidiary in the United States in 1998. He raised funds in 1999. Then started a subsidiary in India (Bangalore) in 2000, and transfered the group to his Chinese distributor in Hong Kong in 2002. Started and managed the first company for “Next Gen” video game development in Singapore in 2005: Ksatria Gameworks, and raised funds with Chinese private investors. Working very close to my teams, I always recruited international talents from all over the world in order to gather the best experts, in software technology, finance, sales and marketing. Since 2007 I help start-up companies to recruit talents, from experts, to executives and board members roles.
