"Vickie and Ping have built an excellent gaming brand and product with a loyal user base and I look forward to building a financial infrastructure that will scale and provide greater visibility into operations."

Bill played an instrumental role in the division sale following The Walt Disney acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019.
