Ken Royall
Director, European Sales

Ken has been involved with 3D graphics applications development for over 25 years. Yes, there was such a thing as 3D computer graphics 25 years ago…

After a minutely small start writing 3D software for nuclear particle paths at Oxford University, Ken moved to larger-scale work with some of the earliest 3D graphics libraries, then on to work with many of the early 3D modeling applications. Ken then (some would say, wisely) made the quantum leap from programming into the world of business development and has never looked back.

Ken’s experience spans Animation and Digital Entertainment, working variously in broadcast TV animation and film production, through Architectural and Engineering Modeling, Manufacturing Automation and Product and Mechanical Design – essentially any application area where 3D graphics are employed as the basis for visual communication and applications interaction. Ken has also directly managed a number of 3D applications initiatives from early stage development through to international rollout, including, most recently a production management tool for 3D animation and a globally distributed selection and delivery system for digital music.

With extensive international operational experience in the US, Europe and the Far East, Ken has driven the emergence of multi-million-dollar businesses in all continents. Ken holds an MBA in International Business from the Écôle des Affairs de Paris and lives in London with his two teenage daughters.

Outside of Tech Soft 3D, Ken is often to be found wandering the romantic hills of his native Lake District national park in England, camera in hand, chasing that elusive magical shot and living the illusion that he’s actually a better photographer than he really is. He also does voluntary work to support Richard with his wine-tasting.
