Nabeel is head of Zynga Boston, creating a new generation of social games. Nabeel is a five-time entrepreneur, most recently as Founder and CEO of social gaming startup Conduit Labs. He is a mentor at the seed mentorship organization Techstars and advisor to Micro-VC Nextview Ventures. Nabeel was a 2004 nominee for the Top 100 Innovators Under 30 from MIT Technology Review. He has been quoted in Newsweek, The NY Times, Business 2.0, and has been a featured speaker at SXSW, CES, Game Developer’s Conference, and the Virtual Goods Summit. For the past 15 years, Nabeel has been leading the edge of digital media. From the first subscription SMS services to pioneering a new category of consumer electronics in “glanceable computing” Nabeel’s passion is new products, business models, and platforms for expanding the utility and entertainment we get from digital media. Previosly Nabeel was an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Prism Ventures, helping establish their gaming investment practice and incubating Conduit Labs. Prior to that he was COO and VP Product Development at Ambient Devices, an MIT Media Lab spin-off pioneering glanceable technology: embedding Internet information in everyday objects like light bulbs, mirrors, refrigerators, umbrellas to make the physical environment an interface to digital media.

I’ve got a strong love of international soccer, and an unfortunate aversion to excersise. I’ve lived in a strange set of places, from Thailand to Indiana to England to North Carolina, and currently am a resident of Cambridge, MA. I’ve got a wife, kids, and consider myself very lucky to be able to build things I love.
