Recently, Galaxy Racer announced that it is expanding into North America, with a new division that will be based in the continent. Following up to that announcement, the esports organisation has revealed that it has named Akemi Sue Fisher as the CEO of its North American division, and has teased and revealed a little about what Fisher's role will include.
Primarily, Fisher will be responsible for the assembling and leading of a new team in the region, but will also be creating a new initiative that aims to identify and develop emerging women's esports talent, as part of a foundation that is known as HER Galaxy.
"I am excited to join Galaxy Racer North America as the CEO, as Galaxy Racer expands into the region. Galaxy Racer is an undisputed world leader in esports, and their commitment to creating equal opportunities for gamers and nurturing women in esports is in direct alignment with my personal purpose to support women to build highly successful brands. Now, it's my honor to join Galaxy Racer in the mission of bridging the gender inequality gap in esports."
We're told in a press release that HER Galaxy will be launched as a grassroots initiative that aims to create an inclusive esports ecosystem for women across the US, with the aim to expand with sponsorship opportunities, tournaments and representation.
