Posted January 17, 2012 by Ben Strauss

Former Microsoft designer and Xbox co-creator Kevin Bachus has moved to an advisory capacity for Savtira, a cloud computing firm based out of Florida.  Bachus joins the company to work on the new technology and advice on how to best approach the business with an ‘emerging company.’

“Kevin is one of the best-known and most highly respected executives in the video game industry,” says Savtira CEO, Timothy Roberts. “We are honored to have him join our advisory board. Kevin’s insight and mentorship for our evolving firm will prove invaluable.”

“Technology and interactive entertainment have been my two great passions in life and if given the opportunity, I am more than happy to share the knowledge I’ve acquired with other innovative, pioneering firms such as Savtira,” says Bachus. “Every new experience is a learning experience so I look forward to coaching Savtira, as well as developing new insight into the Cloud Commerce arena.”

Bachus has worked on a multitude of projects over his career, spanning from core gaming initiatives with Microsoft to venture-based involvement in independent gaming production and other independent gaming and social initiatives.
