“A LEADER WITH INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.”
Dan Sherman - Co-Founder, GameClub, Tiliting Point
“I’m proud to be among the many game industry executives who count Tom Frisina as a trusted mentor. I was fortune enough to work under Tom at EA Partners. As a first-time founder at Tilting Point, I relied heavily on Tom, our executive chairman, to help me lead and scale. Tom has a genuine passion for helping talented people elevate their skills for maximum impact on their organizations and careers. He is also highly adept at mediating management team disagreements, providing tools and just the right amount of intervention for them to resolve conflicts and achieve alignment.
I’m grateful for the countless things Tom has taught me, personally and professionally, and I believe many others can and should benefit from the wisdom and depth of experience that Tom has to offer.”

“Tom has been a tremendous asset for me since I stepped into the CEO role at
Starbreeze. He immediately reached out and offered his help — a reflection of both
his character and experience.
As my closest initial advisor, he helped me navigate public company dynamics and
operational challenges. His decades of leadership experience made all the
difference during a high-stakes transition. We had worked together years before,
and his ability to step in with clarity and confidence speaks volumes about his
commitment to those he believes in.”
“I recommend Tom to any CEO that needs a sparring partner.”

He is great at following up and keeping us true to our commitments, and his advice and wisdom drawn from his long experience were always very welcome. I recommend Tom to any CEO that needs a sparring partner with long experience and an outside view, to drive success and elevate the CEO/Executives/Company to a higher level.”
