Quick take:

  • He was most recently senior technical product manager of Whatsapp.
  • He also held the same role at Amazon Web Services.

Music metaverse gaming platform, PIXELYNX, today announced the appointment of Chris Mendez to the newly created position of Vice President of Ecosystems. He will report directly to PIXELYNX CEO and co-founder, Inder Phull.

Mendez most recently served as Senior Technical Product Manager for WhatsApp. Prior to that, he also held the same role at Amazon Web Services where he led the Amazon Alexa team in the launch of their first voice search engine, Alexa Search. He has previously held leadership positions at USC Radio Group, The Tiziano Project, and the University of Southern California.

In his new role, Mendez will oversee internal partnerships and strategies across PIXELYNX’s various interoperable ecosystems.

“Chris’ many years of managing large-scale tech platform projects make him a valuable addition to the PIXELYNX team,” said Inder Phull, CEO and co-founder of PIXELYNX. “Chris will be largely elemental in further creating interoperable ecosystems within our universe and helping build the foundations of the music metaverse.”

Mendez holds a bachelor’s degree in music industry and a master’s degree in communication management and digital product development, but began his career as a web developer in 2004.

He brings nearly two decades of experience in the tech and digital product/media industry to his new role at PIXELYNX.

“I’m excited to join PIXELYNX in its vision toward the Musicverse, where creative professionals and creator communities can leverage Web3 technologies to create and capture value through their creative works and transfer it directly to fans across the metaverse and existing Web2 platforms,” he said.

PIXELYNX has been expanding its team in recent months as gears up for the debut of its first mobile game later, ELYNXIR, this year. In June, the company hired a new CMO, Kimberly Knoller, who previously held the same role at music royalty platform Songvest. In July, the platform announced five new hires and a new group strategy advisor, and in August, it appointed a new VP of investments.
