The decision behind the advisory board is to accelerate Ampverse Group’s expansion. The company is hoping that the newly appointed Board of Advisors will aid in propelling the Ampverse Group into its next phase of growth under the leadership of CEO, Charlie Baillie. This is not the first time that the company has looked to expand its influence as last year it partnered with DMI Finance to grow Indian esports.
The advisory board is made up of experts from a variety of companies. This includes the aforementioned John Redgrave, former VP of Discord, and Marcus John, the CEO of Sports Capital Advisors. Alongside them is Rohit Sharma, former COO and Board Member of AnyMind Group, and Chirag Shah, a co-founder of several ad tech companies, both of whom are based in Mumbai.
To round out the board are the London-based duo of Oliver Woodley, Global Commercial Director of Soho House Group, and Gita Ramakrishnan, a seasoned investor with over 20 years of experience in capital markets.
The Ampverse Group was founded in 2019 and is no stranger to the esports industry. The Singapore-based group has partnered with local Asian esports companies such as Skyesports. Moreover, its Thai esports organisation Bacon Time has partnered with mainstream brands such as Red Bull.
Charlie Baillie, CEO of Ampverse Group, commented: “To build a remarkable company, you need a remarkable team. Since founding Ampverse Group in 2019, we’ve been fortunate to attract a world-class group of team members and investors.
“Looking ahead, we have huge global ambitions, and therefore I’m excited and honoured that such a distinguished group of leaders from the gaming, media, investment, technology, and advertising sectors share our vision and have agreed to join our newly formed advisory board.”
