Very interesting especially since IENT won a lawsuit against Epic Games, Atari, Valve Corp, Sierra and Sony back in 2006!
Danny Hammett merged his company Great Outdoors LLC with IENT late in 2012. the new CEO of IENT said:
"I am more excited as I approach 2013 and beyond in the market than I've ever been in my career!"
And during his 20+ career in the gaming industry he has already taken three companies public. IENT is his fourth company headed to the NASDAQ.
Danny founded Head Games Publishing in 1994, focusing on outdoor leisure action games and the value line business segment. As CEO of the start up, Mr. Hammett pioneered, developed, marketed, and presold Head Games products, and drove the company to $3.5 million in sales before its inception and business launch in its first year. Head Games was the 6th leading PC games company in unit sales in America with annual revenues of over $35 million prior to the acquisition of his company by Activision. With over $2.8 B in sales and games still on the shelf today, Head Games remains the Granddaddy of branded consumer software for the mass consumer.
He served as President of Activision Value and Executive Vice President of Activision until 2003. At that time Activision was the #3 worldwide electronic sports and outdoor leisure action games/simulation entertainment publisher and producer, generating over $800-million plus in revenues with $1.6-billion-dollar market cap.
Danny created BIG GAME HUNTER for Cabelas and it has generated over $2BILLION in sales.
