Geoffrey Nuval
Geoffrey Nuval has spoken and presented at numerous conferences in the Philippines and the U.S. on entrepreneurship in the workplace, marketing in a socially networked world, and the influence of game mechanics and rewards programs on user behavior.
He returned to the Philippines after spending over a decade in the United States. While abroad, he attained a BS in Management Science & Engineering with Honors from Stanford University and initiated a course in Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School in the United Kingdom.
After graduation, he spent some time in Silicon Valley investing in Internet startups for the former Lehman Brothers, now Tenaya Capital, and then went on to found and become CEO of DevHub.com in Seattle and Privacy Central in Los Angeles.
It was during this time Mr. Nuval became an early pioneer and expert on gamification, the application of real game mechanics such as points, levels, ranking, and rewards to improve or influence people's behavior.
In an effort to contribute to the growth and improvement of the Philippine workforce, Mr. Nuval formed Playworks here in the Philippines, a team building company based upon the principles of gamification.
