Former Sega chief Tom Kalinske wants someone to create Sonic Go

Twenty five years ago, Nintendo owned the game industry. Sega was an upstart challenger, and it could only compete by breaking the rules. Tom Kalinske, former CEO of Sega of America, was one of the chief rule breakers. He and his scrappy team helped launch Sonic the Hedgehog in North America, and within a few years of doing so, they took the dominant share of the North American industry.

That feat has been chronicled in books such as Console Wars (by Blake Harris). Kalinske went on to new adventures at Knowledge Universe, Leapfrog Enterprises, and Alsop Louie (which invested in Pokémon Go maker Niantic and in Twitch). Kalinske is now the chairman of Gazillion, maker of Marvel Heroes 2016. Kalinske has a lot of years of wisdom from doing business both inside and outside gaming.
