GIBRALTAR, 24 July 2024

READYgg, the leading platform integrating Web3 technologies into gaming, has appointed co-founder Christina Macedo as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Former CEO David S. Bennahum remains as co-founder, while John Nash steps into the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO).

As READYgg evolves from a startup into a leader in the Web3 gaming industry, the executive evolution marks the next chapter of READYgg meeting the growing demands of clients and driving further technology innovation. Christina Macedo, formerly the COO, now brings her extensive experience and vision to her new role as CEO. 

“The vision for READYgg is to democratize game development in Web3, allowing every developer to innovate and build in the Web3 gaming space. As CEO, my ultimate goal is to make Web3 gaming accessible for all and to transform the gaming industry.” – Christina Macedo, CEO & Co-Founder, READYgg.

Under Macedo’s leadership, READYgg has significantly expanded its client base and engineering team to support sustainable growth. Fully functional and live, the READYgg platform has a 40+ clientbase of studios, publishers, and apps using the technology to launch games and generate revenue. This ecosystem will support the upcoming launch of its RDYX token.

The RDYX token powers the platform’s entire tech stack, enabling developers to not only launch games but also mint data and create NFT collections directly on the blockchain. Central to building a community-driven ecosystem, the token empowers players to actively support indie developers, creators, streamers, and esports teams. 

Macedo’s appointment follows the addition of John Nash as COO. John has spent the last 15 years working in tradfi, gaming, and crypto. He is a CFA Charterholder and ran the venture fund at SNACKCLUB where he was an early backer of over 50 Web3 gaming startups including Big Time, Shrapnel, Apeiron, Genopets, Heroes of Mavia, Legends of Venari, Nyan Heroes, GAIMIN, Phantom Galaxies, among others. 

Scott Rupp, one of READYgg’s investors, commented on Christina’s contributions to the company. 

“Christina has spearheaded READY’s growth in the Web3 space, with outstanding execution on product, technology and building the partner ecosystem. As a result of her work, READY developer partners have already seen significantly streamlined game development, faster go-to-market and more robust monetization. Her leadership will position READYgg to capture significant share in the emerging Web3 space.” – Scott

Bennahum also shared his thoughts on the leadership transition:

“As a steward of stakeholder success – investors, partners, players, and the READYgg team – now is the time to pass the baton to Christina and empower her to fulfill our shared vision of operating the world’s premiere Web3 gaming ecosystem.” – David Bennahum, Co-Founder, READYgg.

The READYgg team thanks Bennahum for his leadership and dedication during his tenure as CEO that have been instrumental in establishing READYgg’s initial vision.
