what exactly happened to Monstermob is everyone's question… and the reason behind the Spanish take-over of the board lies within Zed and Monstermob. News reporter here seems like knowing about Monstermob as much as all of us, if not, your view is more from a tinted lense by using the word 'oust' , hopefully next time, we can read something more accurate from you.
Hmmm – lets analyze the brilliance of this move.
Launched the top selling mobile game in the business, closed application partnerships with the NBA and other leading industry brands, and most of all – saw 9 months of stability at the most volatile company in the industry.
Naturally – SHAKE UP THE EXECUTIVE TEAM!!!! FAST!!!!
Great! Now he can revamp the business to steal revenue from a whole new set of developers and brands who have their content with Hands-On… Yippie
Maybe they will sell out to Zed and then never reply to another email from the content owners nor even issue past royalty statements much less a check.
What wonderful news.
Yet another in a long line of "quick fix" executives riding in from the east. Haven't we seen how this story ends? He'll make it about 3 months, get fired, and they'll be on to the next guy.
Everyone seems to know alot about everything these days, well one thing for sure is, whoever making the comments here or reporting the news would not make it to be in the content of the news being reported. At least he has experienced all we poeple here have NOT, and will NOT. Dont get too jealous of him guys, its ok to be one of many, there only so few can be this talented at 27, or 28 anyway.
Niccolo=Javier?
whoa my honour, I should go send my CV to C-level heathunters for a job too! guess even my English has improved … was actually just practising my reading comprehension today :p
Head-hunters must love that company!
Vey surprised anyone would hire Nicalo after what he did at Monstermob!!
Very surprised anyone would hire Nicalo after what he did at Monstermob, not the most trustworthy of characters and certainly lost any credibility that he may have had!!!
