Don't miss out! --- Learn a little more about Matt below: Passionate about crafting great games that matter, Matt Wyble is the Chief Operating Officer at Second Dinner—the indie game developer behind Marvel Snap, the 2022 Mobile Game of the Year. At Second Dinner, he leads live games, publishing, technology, and corporate functions, and served as the founding General Manager of Marvel Snap. He also runs Wyble & Co., an advisory and investment firm focused on the video game industry, mentors early-stage companies, and speaks at industry events. Previously, Matt was the original Commercial Leader for Overwatch at Blizzard Entertainment. Before that, he held various leadership roles at Blizzard, where he helped build and scale Hearthstone, led several World of Warcraft initiatives, and served on the product strategy team. He's especially proud of his 40,000 games played in Hearthstone and his six top-100 Legend finishes. Matt splits his time between Madison, WI, and Orange County, CA, where Second Dinner is based. A native of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, he finds both places relatively warm. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with family, playing video games, tinkering with home automation, and running in the UW Arboretum. Matt holds a JD from Harvard Law School, an MBA from Harvard Business School, and a BA in Economics from the University of Michigan. He began his career in corporate strategy at McKinsey & Co. and Nike. He's a member of the State Bar of California.
