Unfortunate news today, blindsided along with many other talented folks and am no longer a part of Esports Engine, a company I helped found and build. Actively looking for any opportunities in production finance, operations and senior leadership.

Today was my last day at Esports Engine along with many other talented people. Not sure what I'll do next. Open to opportunities in broadcast, content creation, and all things production. Thank you for the memories and lifelong friends I made in the esports industry.

And not just me. Too many other people who are literally some of the best in the world lost their jobs today. Check on your people. To everyone else hit by this, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

Just got laid off today from Esports Engine. I really loved working there, so this is particularly sad for me. That being said I’m open to any Biz Dev or Strategy roles in game publishing / esports. If you’re looking for an absolute rockstar with an MBA, I’m your guy

Kitt has been a fantastic person to work with these last few years while I was with PUBG Esports. If you or your company is looking for a talented member to add your team, with AAA production experience, be sure to check him out!

Confirming that Kitt is one of the best in the Biz, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Come steal this mans.
