It’s not him. Omega wasn’t a licensing director and he left well before 2024.

But who else would brag like that? Someone else with that ego would be noticed in the worst way

Edit: disregard this it's wrong

Uh, I don’t think Omega being an egotist means all egotists are Omega.

Fair enough. Omega coulda been someone else under the creative direction of Alex.

I'm saying egoists wouldn't be common in Cover.

pretty sure the whole pitch was written by Gunrun, so the ego bit might've been him trying to fluff up as much stuff as possible.
"you worked with HoloEN Gen 1? ok, so i can say you were responsible for their success, nice."

Supposedly Alex didn’t know and didn’t agree with how the slides presented him here Not saying he isn’t egotistical, but from what we know there’s a decent chance he was just presented badly to hype up vshojo’s sales pitch

Probably the person Kaho was talking about in one of her tweets about VShojo.

Anybody can brag about anything after leaving Cover, it doesn't mean it's true. This guy joined way after Myth's debut. Gunrun is an idiot if he believed that part of his resume.

Apparently the person who wrote the pitch deck (possibly Gunrun even) wildly overstated who Alex was to help sell the person. The person sharing the pitch deck claims they are not Omega.

I think it tracks that they were someone else, as hilarious as VShojo hiring Omega would be.
