He joined the company in 2013.[4] Previously, he was the SVP of Majesco Ent. Company.[5] He joined the company in 2011.[6] In his role, he oversaw Majesco's social and mobile business, including Quick Hit Football, Cooking Mama and other titles. Prior to joining Majesco, he was a CEO and President of Quick Hit Inc. and Turbine Inc where he raised $30 million from Tudor et al.[7] Prior to that, he was the Executive in Charge of Production for Electronic Arts, overseeing Ultima Online.[8] BiographyJeffrey Anderson received an undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois where he was one in the top 3% of his graduating class.[9] He also has a JD from the University of Chicago where he served on the University of Chicago Law Review.[10] After graduating, he went to work as an attorney at the law firm of Holleb & Coff in Chicago, Illinois. Feeling that the legal profession was not for him, he joined with Thomas Ptak and others to start Mission Studios (which was later sold to Take-Two). After that, he moved to Los Angeles and joined Viacom's consumer products division where he worked on various initiatives from Star Trek licensing to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. In 1998, Electronic Arts recruited him to join its Austin, Texas studio to oversee the Ultima Online franchise along with Raph Koster and Richard Garriott. Then, in 2001, Turbine Inc recruited him to be its President and CEO. The company had a software development agreement with Microsoft at the time to develop Asheron's Call 2, but wanted to expand the business and become the largest independent MMORPG company in the world. Anderson successfully raised capital from Highland Capital Partners and Polaris Venture Partners, and secured the rights to develop two new MMORPG games known as Dungeons & Dragons Online and The Lord of the Rings Online. After leaving Turbine in 2008 (which was subsequently sold to Warner Brothers[11]), he founded Quick Hit. This new online gaming studio developed the world's first free-to-play National Football League-licensed online football game.[12] The company raised capital from New Enterprise Associates before it was sold to Majesco in 2011. Two years after the sale, Anderson joined the Game Show Network as its CSO. Awards
