Morgan Ramsay is an entrepreneur and business leader with more than ten years of experience with building small companies into great companies. Mr. Ramsay is Founder, President & CEO at Entertainment Media Council, the first and only association for entrepreneurs, C-level executives, and senior managers in the video-game industry.

As the author of two globally published books about the video-game industry, Gamers at Work: Stories Behind the Games People Play and Online Gamers at Work, Mr. Ramsay interviewed nearly 40 wildly successful entrepreneurs, including EA founder Trip Hawkins, Gaikai cofounder David Perry, and Kongregate cofounder Emily Greer.

For seven years, Mr. Ramsay was Founder, President & CEO at Heretic, a public relations and strategic communications agency. Among other work, he led initiatives that recognized men and women of the armed forces on behalf of the President of the United States of America, and launched products for defense and entertainment clients, from nonprofits and small businesses to the Fortune Global 500.
