TORONTO – Mobile video social network Keek has named interactive entertainment and gaming pioneer Jamie King to the new position of chief product officer.
King will oversee the product team and his primary focus will be on delivering a compelling user experience, consistently improving upon the product offering and creating opportunities for the 67 million Keek members worldwide to share content. He will be expanding the product team in both New York and Toronto and will report to CEO Alexandra Cameron.
King was most recently running his own company, JAMIE INC., handling product development across devices with a heavy focus on video, gaming and social. He was also co-founder and VP of product development at Rockstar Games, and founder and chief creative officer of 4MM Games.
"Jamie will bring tremendous leadership to our team from a user experience perspective”, said Cameron, in the announcement. “A core piece to our forward strategy is the acquisition of world-class talent and ground-breaking thinkers. Jamie fits that criteria. He has a wealth of knowledge in the youth product space and understands how young minds think, connect and like to be challenged. Most importantly, he understands the culturally significant role Keek plays in the lives of a new generation around the globe.”
While the CPO is a newly created role for Keek, COO Troy Fraser had handled some of the product development responsibilities. Effective immediately, Fraser has moved onto other endeavors.
