Meet the newest member of the Triggerfish Team, Jean-Michel.
He has over 15 years’ experience – take
a deep breath – in financial reporting and analysis, internal controls, project
work, due diligence and financial modelling, and has come on board as our
(first ever) Chief Financial Officer.
What did you do
before joining Triggerfish?
I’ve worked in finance for most of my career. Before
returning to Cape Town, I was with the London-based Matrix Group, initially in
their film finance team before moving into more general structured finance
investments. Prior to my MBA degree, I was an Associate for (world-renowned financial institution) JP Morgan Chase
& Co. in their Futures & Options business.
What drew you to
Triggerfish?
I love movies & I’ve been following the progress of
Triggerfish for a few years now so I’m excited to come on-board. There is huge
potential here.
What is your vision
for the company going forward?
I’d love to see Triggerfish establish itself as a global
media & entertainment company bringing a fresh & unique creative voice
to its stories be it in films, eBooks or casual games.
What's your favourite
animated film?
I’m a big Tim Burton fan so it would have to be Corpse
Bride. It’s just a beautiful story.
Which animated
character do you identify the most with and why?
I’ll cheat here & say Jeff Bridges gave a fantastically
“animated” performance as The Dude in The Big Lebowski. I laughed for a week
after watching that film. Never take yourself too seriously.
If you could be any
Triggerfish character (from Zambezia or Khumba), who would it be?
Perhaps a genetic mutation of Cecil & Ezee!
