Riana Manuel-Peña | Marketing Maven
Production, marketing, and content creation…
… Riana has seen many sides of the gaming industry first-hand, with credits including Halo 5, Ori 1 & 2, Tell Me Why, and Ghost Busters. Her game development experience runs the gamut of large and niche titles.
Riana has also combined her Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion education with her passion for games in her many appearances on shows such as Kinda Funny, IGN, Rooster Teeth, Paramount Plus’s Halo: Declassified, and as co-host of both What's Good Games and The Spawnies. Always looking for a new challenge, she served as Brand Director of the G4TV network during their re-launch, and is now working with Zebra Partners to bring her passion for games to an even broader audience.
