He was one of the founding engineers and VP of engineering for Webex. From 1997 to 2011, Yuan increased his team size from 10 to over 800 engineers globally and contributed to revenue growth of more than $800 million.

He was also named Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in Northern California in the software category. In 2019, he was added to the Bloomberg 50 as a leader who changed the game in global business.
