Wolffgang

Entrepreneur · Founder of Panhelios

I founded Panhelios in 2010 and brought a software development kit for games onto the market in 2012. Over the following years I launched four social games in cooperation with international partners. By the time I handed over the company in 2017, over seven million players had enjoyed a game under the Panhelios flag.
