Leigh Nissim
CEO & Founder
After 15 years of leadership experience in the global gaming industry, I wanted to listen to games in a way that would improve gaming experiences for everyone. Hence Future Anthem was born - to create new tunes that help the industry grow responsibly. As you’ve probably guessed, music is a passion, along with my fitness, hair and family.

My anthems are techno, football and beer, mixed with a sample of poker.
