ESE Entertainment (ESE) has appointed Rick Brace, former president of Rogers Media, to its Board of Directors.
As President of Rogers Media, the sports and media subsidiary of Rogers Communications, Mr. Brace was responsible for driving strategy and overseeing operations for the company’s robust portfolio of media assets.
He has a strong reputation for building brands, changing perceptions, and attracting and mentoring top talent.
Konrad Wasiela, CEO of ESE Entertainment, commented,
“I believe Rick Brace joining our Board is a transformational addition to our existing strong team and sets a rare precedent in the esports industry. Throughout his trailblazing career, Rick has been instrumental in the evolution of media in Canada.
He added,
“Rick has made a clear point that he intends to be a very active member of the ESE Board, especially to help scale ESE globally and execute on top tier opportunities. On behalf of the ESE team, we are thrilled to have Rick on board.”
Mr. Brace currently serves as a board member of JaysCare Foundation, the charitable arm of the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Dollar A Day Foundation.
“During my time at Rogers it became abundantly clear that traditional media was feeling increasingly stronger headwinds brought on by the rollout and adoption of digital platforms that deliver content in new and innovative ways. Nowhere is this more prevalent than with the growth of esports, which is seeing monumental year-over-year growth,” he commented.
