Esports organisation Gen.G has revealed that it has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer in the form of Chris Park, who has worked in major brands like Major League Baseball in recent years. In this same press release we also get the news that Kevin Chou is becoming the Executive Chairman.
Park has most recently been Executive Vice President for Product & Marketing at MLB, and will now be leading Gen.G alongside Chou, including "setting and guiding the day-to-day execution of Gen.G's strategy," according to the press release.
"I can't express how thrilled I am about this new journey into the esports world with Gen.G," Park said. "Having spent years with a traditional sports league, it was evident that competitive gaming was booming — well now it's here and here to stay. I look forward to continuing to build an esports powerhouse in Gen.G, especially here in the US and specifically LA, setting the bar for what a gold standard organization should look like."
"We are extremely excited for Chris to join Gen.G and lead us to new heights," added Chou. "He has a brilliant mind for growth and innovation, and we look forward to him applying his great skill set with Gen.G. We have big goals for 2019 and beyond, and Chris is the right person to lead us into the future."
Kent Wakeford is also moving to Vice Chairman, and with this new announcement Park will be moving from New York City to the Gen.G HQ in Los Angeles.
