ABOUT KENJI HIRATA

With over 17 years of experience in the games industry, my specialty is helping developers and publishers bring their products to market and beyond. Flexible, and capable of covering multiple roles across developer relations, account management, commercial management, and product management. Have worked at Nintendo, Sony, and Plaion to help bring multiple games to market. Strengthening relationships, growing networks, improving processes, and generating revenue. Capable communicator. Can break down complicated discussions and tailor to my audience. Represented companies at shows, at customer offices, and in smaller workshops. Have created presentations, decks, and documentation, presenting them to senior directors, lead engineers, and key business staff. Aside from games, I have helped bring multiple high-profile streaming media applications such as BBC iPlayer, Crunchyroll, and Watchever to consoles. I also researched 3D video benchmarks and supported Aardman Animations and Eurosport to provide 3D content for Nintendo 3DS.
