Ahsan

Marketing & Business Development (Pakistan)

is one of our most active quiz night partners. He joins every Friday and has never won a game (because he just keeps laughing in every question haha). Even so, he has won everybody's hearts and maybe we'll do an Urdu version of the trivia games soon!

Amir

Head of Technology Development

hails from Terengganu and is our go-to IT and server guy in the office. We gave him a drone for his birthday (which we are sure he liked; there were videos as proof 😁) and he likes to have barbecue dinners by the beach.

Camie

Head of Legal & Advisory

is the type who spontaneously hop on a plane and climb all the tall mountains in the country. You see the registered trademark in our logos? That's thanks to her legal help.

Fetty

Head of Creative

probably clocked in the most working hours amongst all of us. She is also the longest tenured member of Forest family, designed the new HQ from scratch, and she takes the time to make all of our birthdays special.

Lynn

Head of Account & Finance

holds the key to our financials (and our claims), overseeing the day-to-day finance strategies and activities at Forest Interactive. When she's not looking at finance matters, you can find her relaxing at home, listening to music of her favorite K-Pop group or hopping around exploring yet another new country.

Saeed

Software Development Manager

When he's not leading our dev team at Forest Interactive, you'll find Saeed knee-deep in tech experiments – whether that's playing with LLMs, gaming, or enjoying some quality time with his favorite sidekick (his son)!
This .NET veteran loves crafting elegant systems almost as much as he enjoys mentoring his team. Between AI tinkering and dad duties, he's always chasing the next "aha!" moment. Fun fact? LLMs and family time fuel him equally. 🚀
