20. Jill Hamburger
Best Buy
Jill Hamburger is vice president of gaming for Best Buy and has been with the company since 1987. As such she’s been a familiar face to publishers for many years. Her efforts in 2006 have sought to leverage the synergy between the new generation of consoles and Best Buy’s other great interest right now - home theater and HDTV. Best Buy has done a fine job in demo-ing games in their best environment thus pulling consumers towards games and HDTV at the same time. She has also been working on education initiatives, spending more time on in-store brochures and arranging an ESRB education program with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
