Lee Trink, CEO of FaZe Clan, spoke on the announcement: “We have assembled a best-in-class Board of Directors who bring a broad and deep understanding of Gen Z and the rapidly changing digital media and entertainment landscape.

“I am excited to work with this fantastic group and benefit from their insights and guidance as we enter the public market and execute our multi-platform monetization strategy to create long-term shareholder value.” 

Esports Insider says: FaZe Clan’s new board of directors features an especially strong lineup of professionals with broad experience in executive positions across numerous industries. Since FaZe started positioning itself as a ‘youth culture brand’, rather than esports org, so many different professional views will come in handy as it becomes a publicly-traded company.
