Let’s start with Milo’s Fun Facts!

A fun fact your teammates might not know about you

“I’ve been playing the Galician bagpipe since I was 9 years old. It’s a very traditional Celtic instrument from Galicia. Yes, it’s as loud and dramatic as it sounds! But also really fun!”

“I also love competing in kayaking!”

First video game you ever loved

“It’s a very close battle between Space Invaders and Tetris, but I definitely poured the most hours into Tetris as a kid. Then came Shinobi: Shadow Dancer and Double Dragon, which are still two of my all-time favorites from my childhood and teenage years.”

Best part of your role is…

“Being in direct contact with the teams and the people who make them up. I also love the constant interaction with product and marketing. At the end of the day, it’s all about the people and how we connect.”

Who inspires you most at work?

“It’s not a ‘who’, it’s a ‘what’. The organic synergies that happen in the office. Seeing teams collaborate and help each other out without being asked, creating a result that is much better than the sum of individual efforts. That doesn’t just inspire me; it makes me genuinely proud.”

If Milo could live in one FunPlus Game World, which would it be?

“Wow, that’s a tough one. Since I’m from Galicia and I feel most comfortable in the water, I’d probably say Sea of Conquest. But if I could cheat, I’d ask for a dimensional portal to travel between all the FunPlus worlds.”

Coffee, tea or energy drink?

“Coffee 100%.”

3 things  she keeps close by at her desk

“A paper notebook (the old-school kind), a pen, and my computer.”

Favorite FunPlus memory

“I have so many in almost 5 years here. From traveling to China with my colleagues and experiencing that ancient culture, to the small everyday moments with people at the office. And the terrace parties have definitely been epic, hahaha.”

 

Finally, looking back on everything he’s learned along the way…

The best career advice she’s ever received

“If not the best, definitely one of the best: ‘Listen, observe, and keep quiet. And if something goes wrong, go back to square one and try again!'”
