TransGaming Appoints Fredrik Liljegren as Vice President of Graphics and Portability

03/04/2014 1:30pm

Marketwired Canada


TransGaming Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TNG) the global leader in developing and
delivering platform-defining social video game experiences to consumers around
the world, today announced that games industry veteran Fredrik Liljegren has
joined the company as Vice President of the Graphics and Portability Group. The
addition of Liljegren brings decades of technology and gaming leadership
experience to TransGaming.


TransGaming is continuing to evolve its technology to bring games onto
additional platforms and Liljegren's expansive knowledge of the console market
strengthens the company's ability to make its technology more pervasive.
Liljegren is tasked with leading global licensing and distribution for
TransGaming's suite of translation technologies, patent-backed 3D software
rasterizer (SwiftShader), and business development with video game companies and
enterprise software companies looking to deploy their applications across a
multitude of platforms. 


Based in TransGaming's Toronto headquarters, Liljegren reports to Vikas Gupta,
CEO and President.


Liljegren was one of four founders and the CEO of Digital Illusions Computer
Entertainment (DICE), a renowned Swedish games development studio behind the
industry defining Battlefield and Mirror's Edge franchises. His later role
within DICE from 2001 to 2006 was as studio manager of its Canadian studio, DICE
Canada, before the company's acquisition by Electronic Arts.


"The addition of Fredrik to our executive team continues to solidify TransGaming
as an industry leader," said Vikas Gupta, CEO and President of TransGaming. "As
a founder and CEO of DICE, among the most notable game studios in the world, and
having held numerous CEO roles throughout the industry, Fredrik is unmatched in
his experience. He will be crucial in developing new business and strategic
relationships with key partners as we aggressively expand our technology
platform to reach a wider array of opportunities." 


Liljegren's numerous major leadership positions throughout the video games
industry include starting and growing four companies. Most recently, he was CEO
of Antic Entertainment, a Canadian developer of web and mobile games. Prior, he
was the CEO of Redjade Inc., an outsourcing studio focused on delivering 3D art
and animation for third party developers of high-end PC and console titles.


"My years of significant industry leadership experience in console, mobile and
PC games is a perfect fit for TransGaming and future opportunities for the
company," said Liljegren. "Joining the company to lead graphics and portability
seemed like a natural fit for the next phase of my career given my background
and the company's future. New devices are emerging rapidly and TransGaming is in
the exciting position to bring content and applications to these devices in a
way that no other company in the world can." 


In 2011, Liljegren was given a lifetime achievement award from the Swedish games
industry as one of the founding members of DICE.
