CDC Games, a business unit of CDC Corporation and pioneer of the "free-to-play, pay for merchandise” model for online games in China, today announced the promotion of John Huen to chief operating officer of CDC Games. Huen will be reporting directly to Peter Yip, CEO of CDC Games. Prior to this appointment, Mr. Huen served as chief operating officer and general manager of Optic Communications, a subsidiary of CDC Games. Optic Communications was acquired by CDC Games in July 2007 and operates some of the most well-known game titles in the company’s portfolio, including Shaiya Online, EVE Online, Shine Online and MIR III. Mr. Huen holds more than 10 years of operating and management experience in the digital content and telecommunications industries in China. Before joining Optic, Mr. Huen managed several subsidiaries and joint ventures of CITIC Pacific Ltd., a telecommunications, media and IT conglomerate. Huen holds a bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Hong Kong. In 1992, he was awarded the Swire/Foreign and Commonwealth Scholarship for his master of Philosophy degree in Management Studies at the University of Oxford. Upon joining CDC Games, Huen took responsibility for the launch and operation of Special Force, the first free-to-play, pay for merchandise FPS (first person shooter) game in China and one of the company’s best performers. Since its first full month of commercial operation, registered users of Special Force have grown from 2.5 million to over 13.4 million, and average daily revenues have grown by more than 1,000 percent. "I am every excited to take on this new responsibility at CDC Games,” said Huen. "Our Operations, Distribution and Marketing organizations are established and proven. I will be focused on improving the efficiency of our launch process for new games and the continued efficient operations of our current games. For our planned games in the pipeline, we will work to repeat the launch success that we have achieved with Special Force. Based on this success, I am confident in our ability to begin our open beta testing and commercial launch of The Lord of the Rings Online™: Shadows of Angmar™ as planned in Q1 and Q2 this year. We are working very closely with Turbine, the creator of The Lord of the Rings Online game, and intend to continue to do so to achieve our mutual goals.” "John brings the ideal experience and skills we need to help ensure predictable launches of new games and efficient operations of our current games portfolio in China,” added Yip. "He has proven his abilities through the successful launch and operation of Special Force and he now has us well on our way to establishing the operating foundation we need to scale our China operations beyond our single-game beginnings.” About CDC Games CDC Games is one of the market leaders of online and mobile games in China with more than 120 million registered users.
