Corsair Names Thi La President and COO & Announces Senior Leadership Promotions
January 12 2021 - 9:00AM
Corsair Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRSR) (“CORSAIR” or the “Company”), a
world leader in high-performance gaming peripherals and enthusiast
components, announced today several senior executive moves,
including the promotion of Thi La to President and COO. The
strategic changes are effective immediately and are designed to add
focus across CORSAIR’s different product groups.
Thi La joined CORSAIR in 2009 as a Vice President overseeing the
memory business and has served as COO since 2013. Ms. La has been
instrumental in the Company’s ongoing growth and helped to bring
CORSAIR to a leading market share in the U.S. and Europe for almost
all of its product lines including the clear leader in performance
memory. In her new role, La will oversee CORSAIR’s daily
operations, including the manufacturing, marketing, sales, and IT
organizations, as well as five product groups: gaming products and
streaming groups in the Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment, and
PC gaming components, system products and memory groups in the
Gaming Components and Systems segment.
“I am thrilled to see Thi continue to expand her role and become
President of CORSAIR. This is a well-deserved promotion that will
further strengthen the Company’s ability to gain market share in
every product category that we operate in,” said Andy Paul,
Founder, and CEO of CORSAIR.
As part of the strategic changes, several other executives have
been promoted to lead CORSAIR’s main product groups reporting to
La.
Bertrand Chevalier, who previously served as Chief Sales
Officer, will now oversee the Company’s gaming peripheral product
teams and the recently acquired SCUF Gaming operation as EVP of
Gaming Products. The newly hired Geoff Lyons, former CEO of liquid
cooling provider CooliT Systems, will take on the role of Senior
Vice President of PC Gaming Components, overseeing all PC product
teams.
As part of the transition, Matthew Hsu, who was previously VP of
Research and Development, will take on the role of Senior Vice
President of System Products, which includes Corsair Gaming
systems, and Origin Systems. Michael Buchanan, previously VP of
European Sales, will serve as Senior Vice President of Worldwide
Sales. Additionally, Julian Fest, who previously served as Vice
President and General Manager of Elgato, will head up CORSAIR’s
streaming team as Senior Vice President of Streaming Products. La
will continue to personally manage the memory product groups.
“CORSAIR has a deep bench of very talented executives, and this
new, strengthened organization will allow us to do more of what we
do best: make professional gamer- and creator-focused products, and
market them effectively in every part of the world,” said La.
Thi La, along with all other company functions, including
finance, human resources, legal, mergers and acquisitions, and
strategy, will continue to report to Andy Paul, who will remain as
CEO.
