About Me
I'm Liz Mercuri, horror game aficionado and Final Fantasy VIII expert! Currently a Senior Account Manager for Sony PlayStation Global Third-party Relations, I was previously a Developer Relations Manager at Unity and Marketing Intern with Warner Bros.
In 2014, I was gratefully awarded a Prince William Scholarship, a partnership between BAFTA & Warner Bros. This enabled me to study an MSc in Computer Game Software Development at Sheffield Hallam University.
In 2016, I was featured in Develop's 30 Under 30 & I attended GDC in San Francisco with Microsoft as part of their Game Changers (Women in Games) Initiative.
As a previous member of BAFTA Crew Games & Warner Bros. Creative Talent I am proud to now sit on the BAFTA Games Committee. The committee drives BAFTA’s vision to inspire the next generation of talent, advocate for diverse content and celebrate excellence across the industry.
Highlights of my career so far include the incredible opportunity to speak at the Education Summit at GDC 2017, having the honour of being a jury member for the BAFTA Games Awards in 2016 - 2020 and hosting Unity Keynote Livestreams.
I am grateful to be part of such an innovative and inspiring industry and incredibly thankful for the support and opportunity I’ve recieved on my journey so far.
Let’s see what 2023 brings!
