Andrew Sheppard is an American video game executive best known for his pioneering work in digital distribution and free-to-play game development. In February 2021, Andrew Sheppard took on the role of Managing Director at Transcend, a venture capital firm investing in the future of games and digital entertainment.[1]
Prior to Transcend, Sheppard served as the CEO of GREE International Entertainment, a subsidiary of Japanese Internet media company GREE, Inc., a publicly traded company in Japan with a market capitalization of US$1.4 billion. Several years after joining GREE, Sheppard led a global initiative to refocus the business on its domestic operations in Japan, resulting in the shutdown of GREE International Entertainment on July 7, 2017.[2][3][4]
Before joining GREE, Sheppard was the President of Kabam (developer and publisher of Marvel: Contest of Champions and Kingdoms of Camelot) from 2009 to 2014. He was the first hire with gaming expertise and was instrumental in propelling the company's growth to a record high of $400 million in revenue in 2014. Kabam was recognized in Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 as the 6th fastest growing company in 2014. Kabam was acquired for $800mm by Netmarble in 2017.[5][6][7][8][9]
