Peter Jeremy Lewis (born March 22, 1969) is the President and CEO of Big Fish Games, which develops, produces and distributes casual games on a number of platforms, including PC, Mac, Facebook, iPhone, iPad and Nintendo DS. Lewis, who is known as Jeremy, graduated from Amherst College and worked as a managing director at Goldman Sachs prior to joining Big Fish Games as president and COO in July 2006[1]. He became President and CEO in 2007[2], and a year later, led the company in a first round of financing, raising $83.6 million from Balderton Capital, General Catalyst Partners, and Salmon River Capital. The common stock deal was not only the largest venture financing deal in Washington state that year, but the biggest ever for a U.S. online gaming company.[3]
At Goldman Sachs, Lewis pioneered the development of Goldman Sachs Online and was co-chief operating officer of Epoch Partners, Goldman's online investment bank. Under his leadership, these businesses combined to provide Goldman with Internet retail distribution, its first customer data warehouse, and a consumer-analytics based approach to pricing and allocation equity offerings. During his tenure at Goldman, Lewis also held leadership positions in International Equities and Investment Management.
