Kim Chen, along with Amir, manages iSportster’s marketing, business development and product strategy. Kim comes to iSportster with experience in Internet Marketing and Business Strategy as the head of Business Development at Tjoos.com. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s Degree in Entrepreneurship. Kim doesn’t play indoor sports and is in fact, a big klutz.

Ricardo Escalon's last experience with indoor sports, took a fully paid season full of work colleagues and a losing team to a free winning (2nd in the ladder) experience for his mates. Ricardo is iSportster’s inhouse design and usability expert. Before iSportster.com Ricardo worked at Stamford's Interactive, Australia's premier usability consulting firm. As a user experience specialist Ricardo does NOT hang on every word that Jakob Nielsen has to say. He agrees mostly with what he says, but he is bitterly disappointed with the look of his website. Ricardo started life as a frustrated Materials and Manufacturing engineer cutting fridges for Fisher and Paykel, but after a working holiday in Canada he turned away from his sins and entered the world of IT by completing a Masters of IT and focusing on usability and requirements.
