Management

CEO - John Byrne


John is the Chief Executive Officer of PlayScreen, LLC and the founder and Chief Executive Officer of triCerat, Inc.

A fan of all things Apple since 1978, managing a major iOS game publisher is John's dream job come true.

John's love for a well-crafted product is not limited to the advancement of the software industry alone - he's an avid owner of European sports cars and he gravitates towards any cutting edge technology. John holds a Masters Degree of Business Administration from the Sellinger School of Business at Loyola University of Maryland.
