Christine Hsu was the founder/co-founder of Paradox Development. She currently is the Owner of Quirky Games, Inc. and Biz Hub, Inc.

Here, from her LinkedIn page, is her own words on her accomplishments at Paradox Development.

"Established fully self-funded development studio. Hired initial team, secured studio space, and obtained first project all within 6 months. Oversaw product development, operations, HR and finance and built well-respected studio whose clients included Sega (Company), EA., Interplay, Disney, Virgin, Activision (Company), Eidos, Midway and Mattel.
Grew company from $0 to annual revenues of $7 million, and from 10 people to 100 at the peak. Became profitable within 12 months and maintained debt-free status for 10 years.
Delivered every game on time and on budget 13 by setting expectations clearly, establishing realistic schedules and holding teams accountable.
Gained well-deserved reputation for being able to deliver quality projects to tight deadlines – for example, created ‘X-Men: Mutant Academy’ for Activision within 6 months to enable simultaneous game/film release.
Led development of ground-breaking game Thrill Kill (Game) for Virgin, which allowed four players to fight simultaneously in the same room for the first time. Despite not being officially released, the game became a cult favorite with gamers and is still widely played.
Convinced Midway to allow Paradox to develop a Mortal Kombat (Franchise) game – the first time an external studio had worked on an MK game. Midway was so happy with the results that they offered an additional project and subsequently acquired Paradox."
