\nThe Chief Executive Officer of Allied Esports, Jud Hannigan, recently announced his resignation from the esports entertainment company. Hannigan broke the news via a LinkedIn post last night and revealed the reason for the decision.<\/p>\n
Before his February 2017 appointment as the CEO of the organization, Hannigan was the Vice President of Allied Esports. In his position, Hannigan ensured the growth of the group and assisted its expansion efforts in a number of entertainment verticals like poker and esports.<\/p>\n
He was one of the most instrumental figures in advancing the company\u2019s businesses in the past few years. The EPICBEAST NFT project, Allied Esports\u2019 listing on NASDAQ, as well as the company’s expanding its reach on three continents are all feats accomplished during his tenure.<\/p>\n
In his post, Hannigan looked back on his time as the CEO of the company and the various areas he had an impact on.<\/p>\n
“I resigned from my position as CEO of Allied Esports this week,” Hannigan wrote.<\/p>\n
“It’s been an incredible journey over the past 7 years building this business from inception in China, to operations on 3 continents, to producing some of the most watched moments on Twitch, to a public listing on the Nasdaq, and diving into the emerging Web3 space with the creation of the EPICBEAST NFT community.”<\/p>\n
“As an entrepreneur, it’s surreal taking an idea from a collection of PPT slides in my bedroom in Beijing to a bell ringing ceremony at the Nasdaq in Times Square.”<\/p>\n
\nI resigned as CEO of Allied Esports this week. It's been an incredible 7-year journey and I've been blessed to have had the opportunity to lead so many talented individuals and work alongside tremendous partners… https:\/\/t.co\/jleSDwi7S1<\/a><\/p>\n
