Michael Hengst

Welcome!

Meet Michael!

I have over 35 years of experience in game development, business development, planning, and team leadership, having worked in various roles for both small and large companies. I have overseen the development of small games with a budget of € 50,000, as well as massive projects with a budget of $ 15 million USD or more. Furthermore, I have worked internationally in half a dozen countries and have a „hands-on“ mentality.

I am a project specialist who typically works on complex projects that present a wide range of challenges. Not only that, but I offer solutions for the problems and help to get those projects back on track. Furthermore, I also worked as a consultant for Bayern Kapital, a public Bavarian venture capital company, and teach at various prestigious schools, including SRH in Heidelberg and the University of Applied Sciences in Neu-Ulm. Additionally, I occasionally speak at conferences.
