I had the pleasure and good fortune of working with Raiko for several productive and prolific years when he was a key development executive for me at 51 Minds Entertainment. He is an endless fount of creativity and execution. From foundational ideas, to advanced sales materials, to final sale, Raiko took many projects all the way to series for us. He knows what an audience will love - and crucially - knows what a customer needs to see to prove that. Raiko is a joy to work with and can either be amazingly collaborative and supportive, or deliver fantastic finished projects completely independently. Probably my favorite thing about Raiko is that he is one of the funniest people I know.

'HE HAS A GREAT STYLE - I FIND ALOT OF EDITORS DON’T HAVE THIS, THEY ARE MORE BY THE NUMBERS - AND HIS VISUAL SENSE AND PACING ARE FUN AND ENERGETIC. HE MAKES SOLID MUSICAL CHOICES. BUT IT’S HIS ABILITY TO COMBINE ALL OF THAT WITH EXCELLENT STORYTELLING SKILLS THAT THAT MAKES HIM TOP NOTCH.'
