About

Gaming as a storytelling medium is what drives my passion for shaping the future of global entertainment and guides my work at Tencent. As the Vice President of Operations, Strategy, and Compliance at Tencent Games, I lead the company’s mission to create connections and experiences that matter to the next generation of video games, especially by evolving great IP into new forms of interactive entertainment beyond gameplay. Overseeing Tencent’s portfolio of more than 20 studios, I empower creators and partners to push boundaries and deliver groundbreaking gaming experiences that truly connect with players. Based in California, I champion collaboration throughout Tencent’s expansive ecosystem, fostering networks that seamlessly connect creators, brands, and communities to shape the future of entertainment. My focus is simple: enable creative teams to do their best work while supporting responsible growth, strong partnerships, and lasting impact for players, audiences, and the future of entertainment. I welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss more.
