🎢 Can you tell us a bit about your journey leading up to joining Eiger?
With a background in tech and gaming, blockchain has always intrigued me, both personally and professionally. However, I had few opportunities to explore blockchain until I met one of the VPs of Immutable at GDC 2023 in San Francisco. At the time, I was working as an International Sales Manager for a Chinese game development company. Immutable needed assistance for their game Guild of Guardians, which became my first professional exposure to Web3 gaming. Soon after, a headhunter connected me to Eiger for a role in Web3 gaming sales. That’s how I joined Eiger.
💡 What made you interested in Web3?
My interest began in 2014 when I first encountered Bitcoin. Over time, I started investing and even tried mining. The shift came when I read The Bitcoin Standard in 2018 and discovered Ethereum. Although I’m not a programmer, I saw the potential of decentralized platforms to empower the bankless and support smart contracts.
🎮 What made you interested in joining Eiger?
The chance to blend my gaming experience with blockchain in Web3 gaming was incredibly appealing. Opportunities like that are rare. Eiger’s transparency and open culture were also a big draw for me.
🤍 What do you think makes Eiger a special place to work?
Eiger’s remote-first mindset and youthful energy are invigorating. Despite being an old-timer here, I love the transparency, the freedom to propose new ideas, and the autonomy to organize my work with minimal guidelines. It’s really motivating.
📖 What’s a book, podcast, or article that significantly influenced your life?
Besides The Bitcoin Standard, two books have greatly impacted me: On the Shortness of Life by Seneca and Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. These works have shaped my perspective, and I revisit them often for fresh insights.
🎙️ How do you stay current with developments in Web3?
I follow CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, listen to Bankless podcasts, and watch Into the Cryptoverse on YouTube.
🏢 What advice would you give to someone starting a career in Web3 Sales?
Stay updated on trends and be patient. Many traditional industries transitioning to blockchain need support, so being well-informed and adaptable is key to success in Web3.
