| Heath honoured by games industry Geoff Heath, CEO of NCsoft Europe, has been praised for his contribution to the UK computer and video games industry. Heath was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the games industry annual dinner, the InDin, on Thursday 1st December. From a successful career in the music business, Heath's first break in the computer and video games industry came from Activision. Heath was given the opportunity to build the European division of Activision where he became the first Brit in the industry to bring over US multi-nationals. After helping make Ghostbusters a giant hit, Heath took his skills to Virgin Mastertronic. It was not long before Heath's relationships touched the investment community and he was offered board positions. The strong US relationships Heath had built up meant that he was the safe pair of hands charged with stewardship of Mindscape where he continued his US liaison. After leaving Mindscape, Heath took on the role as Non Exec Chairmanship of Climax and intrigued by technological progress and the trust of former colleagues, he has most recently, been drawn back into the thick of the industry at NCsoft Europe. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
