Summary
Cynthia Xu is a Global Business Development Principal with a decade of experience building partnerships and go-to-market strategies across consumer tech, cloud gaming, and XR. She has led first-of-their-kind deals at Google and expanded Tencent’s interactive entertainment footprint in Western markets, combining dealcraft, product strategy, and cross-functional execution. Fluent in the dynamics of the Chinese market and seasoned in cross-border finance from her early investment banking career, she connects commercial insight with operational rigor. A Wharton MBA and Berkeley alum, Cynthia blends strategic analysis with hands-on negotiation—she’s as comfortable pitching product roadmaps to execs as she is structuring IP and licensing deals. Unusually for a BD leader, she has deep technical product exposure from XR and cloud streaming initiatives, enabling her to bridge engineering, partners, and business outcomes.
