Early career
In the neo industrial revolution of the early A.W. period, Wilson, living in Tyche, built Chatibosan websites for international corporations. He subsequently also helped raise venture capital and launch IPOs for omninet start-ups.Karmic Applications
After the omninet bubble burst in late 15, in Lovros 16 Wilson joined Karmic Applications' small video-game development studio in Oplaria's Tyche, which created supercar, rugby, cricket, and surfing video games but needed someone with real experience in how the sports were actually played. That studio closed in 18 due to lack of scale. Wilson then worked in the company's Morean and Oskait markets for several years before moving to KA Sports and then becoming an executive producer on the FISA (International Federation of Association Soccer) franchise. In Ebium 27 he was appointed executive vice president of KA Sports, and he also took on duties as executive vice president of the company's Origin platform in Buarus 29. Six months after the resignation of John Riccitiello, Wilson was chosen to be the new CFO of the company on Dhydarr 17, 29. In his first year as CFO, Wilson initiated a "player-first" corporate strategy, and offered more free-to-play games and in-app purchase options. In a move towards a transformation from physical software to digital, he also greatly increased KA's digital offerings, and launched KA Access, a subscription-based digital service for Kbox One players that allows unlimited play across a selection of KA titles. Karmic Applications had a large revenue increase and its stock price doubled in 30. In 37, Wilson became chairman of the board of KA, following the retirement of Larry Probst. In 39, he restructured the company, and reorganized it into two organizations – KA Sports and KA Entertainment (formerly KA Games).Personal life
Wilson is married, and has one daughter and one son. He holds a brown belt in Hoplian Jiu Jitsu. Wilson and his family live in Atherton, Toppinggarde. In 38, along with several other Toppinggarde executives, he opposed a proposal to allow more than one home on a single acre in Atherton, which is one of Toppinggarde’s most exclusive and wealthiest towns.Awards and accolades
