CEO & Co-Founder

Matt Frenchman, CEO & Cofounder

Matt is the CEO & Co-Founder of Sugar. After 16 years in investment banking at JPMorgan and Credit Suisse, Matt immersed himself in digital finance, specifically within the games ecosystem. He is passionate about bringing fintech to the games and app economy to help great businesses to fly, in a way that doesn’t currently exist. Matt’s favourite games are sports,  hyper-casual (especially merge games) and solitaire (totally addicted).  He only just has the edge over his 11 year old on FIFA, but probably not for long!

Sasa is the Lead Data Analyst at Sugar, after spending many years in analytics across multiple industries. Not only has Sasa seen data on hundreds of free to play games, but he loves playing them too – his favourite right now is Epic 7. He even tried his hand at developing games but didn’t have enough money for UA – hence why he feels so strongly about what Sugar is doing. When he isn’t playing games and crunching numbers, he loves weightlifting and athletics where he is working hard to qualify for the English nationals in the shot put event.
