This week’s entrepreneur of the week, Sohaib Thiab, founded game development Wizards Productions along with Hussam Hammo and Afif Toukan in Amman, Jordan in 2009. After launching a few successful massive multiplayer online games, Wizards Productions has now pivoted into the mobile space, recently launching a new game, Aqua Jam, in partnership with publishing platform 6waves.

Here Sohaib discusses a new partnership with publishing platform Tapjoy on upcoming game Experiment Zero, what sets a Wizards game apart, and how the Jordanian company is undergoing remote training with YetiZen, a San Francisco-based accelerator that focuses exclusively on gaming.

“Make sure that you listen to your stakeholders and users,” he advises. “It’s fine to change your idea if you’re convinced that it’s the right move.”
