Liana Ruppert.

With an arguably unhealthy obsession with Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Destiny 2, and Halo, Liana is wildly passionate about all things in the gaming community. From shooters, to RPGs, if it's out - she's playing it.

​

Liana is currently working as a Community Manager at Bungie for Destiny 2, working alongside some of the most talented names in the industry across numerous teams. There, she is co-lead of Accessibility @ Bungie and the newly created Mental Health @ Bungie, which includes neurodivergency education for team leads and support for those looking for a solid support system.

​

She has also helped rebuild numerous gaming brands from the ground up, including her recent total rebranding of Prima Games and the restructuring of Game Informer Magazine. Previous work you may have seen her at lives at places like, GameSpot, CBS, BBC International News, GameDaily.biz, Twin Galaxies, Shack News, SubNation, and DFTG. She has even hosted as a gaming industry expert on live international news as a BBC correspondent. She also has over 20 years of games media under her belt, including taking on roles such as Managing Editor, Creative Lead, Marketing, and even PR.

​

She has worked side-by-side with brands with voice-over work, social media content creation, scripts, and more with companies like Blizzard, HyperX, Turtle Beach, Techland, CD Projekt RED, Topgolf, Warner Bros, NetherRealm, ReedPop, Xbox, PlayStation, Alienware, and so many more.

​

Liana also works closely with organizations like the Epilepsy Foundation of America to make games safer for those with photosensitivity, as well as a professional consultant with studios from around the world in an effort to create general accessibility improvements. 

​

A medically retired veteran and now full-time hoarder of gaming collectibles, Liana's passion for everything in the gaming industry is palpable. Also, if you lose her in a crowd, just casually mention any BioWare game, and the crazy pterodactyl screech will without a doubt follow.
