Songyee Yoon is president of NCSoft, the South Korean maker of online games including Aion, Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, Blade & Soul, Lineage, Lineage 2, Tabula Rasa, City of Heroes and Fuser.

She is one of the rare women leaders at one of the industry’s biggest companies, and she often gets quizzed by parents about why games are good for children. So much so that she wrote Push Play: Gaming for a Better World, which documents how play is in our DNA.
