You may know them as the team behind League of Legends, one of the most popular online video games of all time, with well over 100 million active players each month. Currently, LoL is the most-played online game in the world and a key driver of the growth of esports.

Aside from gaming, Marc also sheds light on entrepreneurship and innovation, how to transform industries, scaling a business, and what he considers his biggest weakness.
