About Pete
CEO of the award-winning gamification consultancy, Gamification+, Pete Baikins has made it his life mission to engage and empower businesses using the power of games. Pete became a pioneer in the industry in 2013 and quickly became a leading expert in its application to business, HR and marketing. In 2014 Pete took the top spot on the rise.global Gamification Guru's Power 100. In 2017 he began Gamification Europe, the premier international gamification conference.
Please note: Pete got married in July 2022 and changed his name from Jenkins to Baikins (a merger of our two names Bailey and Jenkins).
Pete has been a successful entrepreneur for over 20 years. Originally a CRM systems supplier, he quickly realised that the tools he provided were not being used effectively. Enter gamification for CRM systems and Kevin Werbach's online gamification course. In 2013 the business model was revamped and Gamification+ now focuses on bringing the power of gamification to business.
Pete has taken a diverse approach when bringing his knowledge about gamification to the world. He has given talks at conferences; delivered both off-the-shelf and bespoke gamification solutions; he has delivered training and workshops; researched and presented thought leadership in gamification; taught and guest lectured at universities (Brighton, King's College London and ESCP Europe) and has participated in many discussion panels in events all over the world. He also co-hosts the Health Points podcast available across all major platforms.
Pete launched the, now globally renowned, conference Gamification Europe in 2017. The first event in Brighton UK was a great success and its 2018 Amsterdam edition boasted attendees from 35 countries. Since then it has happened in Berlin, Utrecht, London and online (of course) during COVID. Gamification Europe's aim is to spread best practices and knowledge around the gamification community.
