If you're reading this, nice to meet you! I'm Kenny Ong, a Project Manager at IGN Entertainment.

I graduated from UC Berkeley with an English Major and Political Economy minor in 2021 and boast a wealth of interpersonal experience, technical skills, and passions in various topics. Currently, I'm living the dream of working in the entertainment industry through my passion for video games, films, and podcasts!

Through my previous work at Finding Founders, I contributed to building a global community of founders and creators while also assisting in getting our podcast acquired by Hubspot. After eventually settling into my role as COO, I oversaw 8 interns in outreach, research and design. In short, I always strive to find new ways to engage with audiences while also streamlining the process and lightening the burden for the rest of our team! My current workflow at IGN consists of assisting on major branded campaigns for Fortune 500 companies such as Disney, McDonald’s and Toyota. In doing so, I serve as as the main point of communication between internal and external stakeholders all while producing and executing on multi-deliverable timelines. In doing so, I participate all the way from ideation to post-launch across various mediums such as video, articles, display, giveaways, and more!

I am extremely experienced in productivity and enterprise software, using programs like Concur, Nexonia, Oracle Fusion, and Worksuite for freelancer onboarding and invoicing. Additionally, I have leveraged my knowledge in Airtable and Notion to build databases which are used across my company’s departments, cutting down time for pricing and talent acquisition. Lastly, I’m self-taught in the Google Suite, even leveraging Google Sites to build my own website.

As for projects, my favorite contributions include the spearheading of Finding Founders' esports series, weekly newsletter, and role as host lead for the three-day, 5000 attendee tentpole event known as IGN Live.
