Liz Yan, President
Ms. Yan got hooked on gaming after she beat her brother, Rob Yan, in Pong. She stopped playing games in the early 90s as games started to become more challenging and time consuming. After seeing a couple of demo dvG™s (digital video guides) she was convinced that mastering today's hottest games could be as simple as ABC.
Prior to joining GameTime, Ms. Yan held various positions in banking / financial services. She has worked at Deutsche Bank Asset Management, Goldman Sachs Investment Management, and Merrill Lynch Capital Markets. Ms. Yan is a CPA and holds a BS and an MBA from the Leonard N.
