Simon Yee — Product Design Manager at Wish
Simon is currently a Product Design Manager at Wish where he empowers an awesome team of designers to build amazing things for the merchant experience. In a former life, Simon was a professional poker player who still plays competitively from time to time, but you are more likely to find him at a craft cocktail bar, or at home perfecting his mixology skills. He only has 40 followers on Instagram, so you're better off connecting with him either on LinkedIn or at simonyee.com
