Summary
Tim Liu is a corporate development and strategy leader with 15+ years driving M&A, investments, and strategic partnerships across gaming, tech, and micromobility. He’s led corporate strategy at Activision Blizzard and built Lime’s corporate development function, helping secure $500M+ in equity and strategic integrations like Uber and Google Maps. At Tencent he spent nearly a decade closing 20+ Western game investments and co-led the Call of Duty: Mobile deal that generated substantial revenue, giving him rare cross-border dealmaking expertise. Now at The Pokémon Company International, he combines operator experience with investor-style diligence and a product background from early roles at Metacafe and Tencent. A Stanford BA with deep ties across US–Asia ecosystems, he often operates at the intersection of corporate strategy, product, and partner ecosystems rather than just pure finance.
