Prior to Touchmedia, Mr. Wang served from February 2010 to June 2013 as Finance Director of AdChina Ltd., a leading integrated internet advertising provider in China. Mr. Wang began his career at Ernst & Young, where he worked for the firm’s Assurance & Advisory Business Service division in both the Shanghai and Los Angeles (two years) offices from September 2001 to February 2010. Mr. Wang is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of California and a member of the Chinese Institution of Certified Public Accountants, and holds a B.A. in Business Administration from Shanghai International Studies University.

I am thrilled that we are able to attract such great talent to our team.”
