We’re proud to announce that Eugene Evans 🔜 GDC is now a 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿 for 𝗜𝗣𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲, Yodo1 Games's licensing intelligence platform designed to help studios and IP owners make smarter, data-driven IP partnership decisions.   Eugene brings more than four decades of leadership across the global digital games and licensing industry, with senior roles at Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro, Electronic Arts, and Mythic Entertainment. He has led some of the most influential IP and publishing strategies in the industry and continues to advise and sit on boards across the global gaming ecosystem.   Over the past decade, Yodo1 has generated over $1B in gross revenue during IP collaboration events across our game portfolio, working at the intersection of licensors, developers, and live-ops teams worldwide. But as the market scales, the bar for defensible, data-driven IP decisions has never been higher.

It enables partners to move from instinct-driven licensing to a structured, high-confidence IP strategy.   As a Strategic Advisor, Eugene will work closely with the Yodo1 leadership and product teams to strengthen IPverse’s positioning as a global decision platform, guide product direction based on real industry needs, support high-value partnership strategy across licensors and developers, and ensure our framework aligns with how top IP holders evaluate and approve deals.   Eugene’s perspective has been shaped by decades of evaluating IP investments at the highest level and will be instrumental as we scale IPverse into the category-defining platform for IP licensing in games.   We’re incredibly excited to have him on this journey with us.   𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗣 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁?
