Graphics and Portability
Company Strengthens Executive Team with Addition of Industry
Veteran and DICE Founder
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 3, 2014) - TransGaming Inc.
(TSX-VENTURE:TNG) the global leader in developing and delivering
platform-defining social video game experiences to consumers around
the world, today announced that games industry veteran Fredrik
Liljegren has joined the company as Vice President of the Graphics
and Portability Group. The addition of Liljegren brings decades of
technology and gaming leadership experience to TransGaming.
TransGaming is continuing to evolve its technology to bring
games onto additional platforms and Liljegren's expansive knowledge
of the console market strengthens the company's ability to make its
technology more pervasive. Liljegren is tasked with leading global
licensing and distribution for TransGaming's suite of translation
technologies, patent-backed 3D software rasterizer (SwiftShader),
and business development with video game companies and enterprise
software companies looking to deploy their applications across a
multitude of platforms.
Based in TransGaming's Toronto headquarters, Liljegren reports
to Vikas Gupta, CEO and President.
Liljegren was one of four founders and the CEO of Digital
Illusions Computer Entertainment (DICE), a renowned Swedish games
development studio behind the industry defining
Battlefield and Mirror's Edge franchises. His
later role within DICE from 2001 to 2006 was as studio manager of
its Canadian studio, DICE Canada, before the company's acquisition
by Electronic Arts.
"The addition of Fredrik to our executive team continues to
solidify TransGaming as an industry leader," said Vikas Gupta, CEO
and President of TransGaming. "As a founder and CEO of DICE, among
the most notable game studios in the world, and having held
numerous CEO roles throughout the industry, Fredrik is unmatched in
his experience. He will be crucial in developing new business and
strategic relationships with key partners as we aggressively expand
our technology platform to reach a wider array of
opportunities."
Liljegren's numerous major leadership positions throughout the
video games industry include starting and growing four companies.
Most recently, he was CEO of Antic Entertainment, a Canadian
developer of web and mobile games. Prior, he was the CEO of Redjade
Inc., an outsourcing studio focused on delivering 3D art and
animation for third party developers of high-end PC and console
titles.
"My years of significant industry leadership experience in
console, mobile and PC games is a perfect fit for TransGaming and
future opportunities for the company," said Liljegren. "Joining the
company to lead graphics and portability seemed like a natural fit
for the next phase of my career given my background and the
company's future. New devices are emerging rapidly and TransGaming
is in the exciting position to bring content and applications to
these devices in a way that no other company in the world can."
In 2011, Liljegren was given a lifetime achievement award from
the Swedish games industry as one of the founding members of
DICE.
