Darlene Kindler

Darlene Kindler has extensive experience in consumer electronics and semiconductor products. She has repeatedly focused on emerging technologies and products in multiple companies beginning with Nintendo, who was re-entering the then, nascent video game industry – 3dfx Interactive, a 3D graphics chip – CHIPs & Systems, an adaptive chip – AdscapeMedia, a dynamic in-game advertising company, and others.

In her role at Nintendo, she was one of the key people credited with establishing an international effort in Europe by building out the distribution network. Ms. Kindler went on to establish a wholly owned subsidiary in the U.S. for a Japanese video game company rolling out a number of products successfully.

In tune with her entrepreneurial spirit, Ms. Kindler took on the role of Vice President, Marketing/Third Party for a startup company called 3dfx Interactive. 3dfx was in the business of designing the first 3D graphics controller for the PC. She developed and supervised all aspects of the developer program as well as the additional responsibility for marketing, where she executed a branded retail program that resulted in 3dfx winning the Interactive Game Industry award for “Best Hardware Marketing”.

Ms. Kindler moved on to a new company in an emerging industry as VP Publishing for Adscape Media, a technology networking company focused on dynamic in-game advertising. Google acquired the company. SONY recruited her to establish a new multimedia advertising division for PlayStation and its online multimedia network. She drafted a new business plan, which was presented to the global operating committee in Japan for SONY and approved.

Most recently she worked at LeoNovus, a distributed cloud company.
