David Guo and Benjamin Gifford

The leadership of Top Game includes two of the industry's top talents. They are founder and CEO Yaoqi "David Guo" and Vice President Benjamin Gifford. Guo was previously a manager at Microsoft and currently serves on the board of directors of the Game Developers Conference. He previously co-founded a virtual currency exchange and created a popular firewall. Gifford was previously president of Evony LLC, which has become part of the Top Games portfolio.

Normally, development teams focus on this idea of perfection, that they won’t let something out in the marketplace if it isn’t 100% perfect. But they realized that while they’re doing that they’re being passed by competition who leapfrog beyond whatever iteration of perfection they’re trying to achieve. Perfection is not the goal; excellence should be what they’re striving for.

“Looking at the Leading companies in your field, they might never own a perfect product or service but what they do own is excellence,” Benjamin says.

To achieve excellence, the Top Games Team needs to be methodically, relentlessly, and persistently striving for constant innovation with incremental and sequential roof shots. This is how to make products and services better and updates more impactful. By passionately pursuing these roof shots, Top Games Inc. identifies and achieves moonshots. Both roof shots and moonshots are valued, desired, and rewarded. And the only way to keep the goal striving for excellence is to empower the team and make decisions with data so they can fail early, and fail often but learn from failure. “The team shouldn’t limit themselves into a job protection mode, instead they should stretch their capabilities and grow constantly without satisfaction with current success.” Benjamin insists.
