Leo Lin

Leo Lin (or Lin Song) leads Riot’s Shanghai office and serves as the Head of our China Studio where he oversees Rioters across all parts of the business to help Riot develop the best games for players in China and around the world. As a leader of one of our global studios, he works closely with other Riot teams around the world to deliver impactful moments for players.

Leo joined Riot in 2017 after working as the COO for TripAdvisor China. A lifelong gamer, he’s spent thousands of hours playing Baldur's Gate II, World of Warcraft, and League of Legends. Whether it’s hitting the Rift with his old classmates or his Rioter peers, his favorite champion is Akali because she is sharp and decisive, always hiding in the shadows to eliminate her enemy–exactly how Leo likes to play.

If he’s not leading the team in Shanghai, you’ll often find Leo hiking through Asia’s more mountainous regions.
