Team Spotlight: Jamie Parker, Chief Product Officer
-Written by Jamie Parker, Chief Product Officer Gamestar+
Who I am?
I’m Gamestar +’s Chief Product Officer. I have more than 20 years of experience in game design and interactive product development.
I consider myself to be an outside-of-the-box thinker with a strong track record of developing focused and measurable strategies and roadmaps for taking digital strategy, products, software solutions, and platforms to market.
A Quick Summary of My Career
I started my career in the late 90s on the creative side as a self-taught web designer and 3D artist for video games and ended up working as a technical art lead on THQs Saint’s Row and Epic’s original Gears of War on the Xbox 360 console.
I learned to code and eventually became a full-stack developer. I designed and developed dozens of cutting-edge websites and applications for clients across various industries (including the Arizona Department of Health, USAirways, Nintendo of America, Nascar, and more).
As a game producer, I oversaw the development and launch of the successful Stick Wars mobile game franchise, which over 2 million fans have played.
I then into product leadership roles, building scalable products and platforms that solved challenges for users and businesses alike.
While at Showtime, I launched the company’s first direct-to-consumer product on connected TV devices such as Roku, Amazon’s FireTV, AppleTV, and Xbox game consoles.
Overall, I’ve worked with numerous global companies and brands — E&Y, Simon Malls, British Petroleum, Resorts World, A+E Networks, and NBCUniversal. He has helped them understand how emerging technology — like machine learning, AR, VR, and IoT- can be integrated into compelling digital products and platforms that drive maximum engagement and value for their users and businesses.
As the head of New Products at Viacom, I worked with senior leadership in the branding, business development, content distribution, and technology departments to evolve C-Suite thinking around streaming media opportunities and to lay the strategic foundation for the acquisition of PlutoTV and launch the Paramount+ platform.
“I want to use blockchain to focus on bringing cutting edge tech to average consumers in a way that’s exciting and doesn’t alienate.” — Jamie Parker, Chief Product Officer
I hope to bring my first-hand experience with all aspects of interactive product development from early concept through marketing and launch to Gamestar+. I’m so excited to be a part of the team!
