About

Thanks for visiting! I’m Ran. I’m building something new in interactive media with Proxima.

I previously led product teams at Electronic Arts, focusing on community generated content, The Sims, and mobile titles. Before EA, I worked at YouTube and the Boston Consulting Group. I hold degrees from the Wharton School (MBA) and Queen’s University.

I previously founded a Virtual Reality Cinema in Toronto. Broadly, I love exploring at the intersection of interactive media, storytelling, and virtual communities. Many of my writings here focus on this intersection. Snippets of those writings have been featured on The Economist and Harvard Business Review, among other publications.

Beyond my work, I’m also proud to be: an Asian Canadian, a (very) amateur astronomer, volleyball player, and board game enthusiast. Lord of the Rings is my favorite book that I never finished.

I’m currently based in San Francisco.
