Derek Lew, non-executive chairman of Guild Esports, said: "The
Board has moved quickly to establish a non-executive role for the
new chairman and will continue to have full oversight of the
management team and the Company's strategy under chief executive
Kal Hourd. Kal's key responsibilities include delivering on the
Company's long-term revenue and bottom-line objectives, as well as
forging relationships with global brands. He is well supported by a
highly experienced and talented cross-functional management team
that has already set a strong momentum for the business."
Kal Hourd, chief executive of Guild Esports, said: "On behalf of
the Board and all our colleagues, I want to thank Carleton for his
leadership which has laid a strong foundation for Guild's long-term
growth. He has led the Company through its early development and
thanks to his passion and drive Guild has emerged as a leading
esports organisation in a relatively short period of time since its
flotation in October 2020. We wish him all the best for the future.
As a co-founder of and shareholder in the Company, I remain fully
committed to executing our business strategy and vision to build a
major global esports organisation. Guild is making excellent
progress on all fronts and I look forward to continue working with
the Board to create long term value for shareholders."
Carleton Curtis said: "It has been a great privilege to lead
Guild's development during its most crucial and formative time. I
am proud to be handing over the baton as the business makes strong
strides ahead and is well placed to prosper in the years
ahead."
