Corsair's Planned CEO Transition Takes Effect; Thi La Assumes Role of CEO

Corsair Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRSR) ("Corsair" or the "Company"), a leading global provider of high-performance gear for gamers, streamers, content creators, PC builders and SIM driving enthusiasts, today announced that the planned CEO transition has taken effect. Andy Paul, Corsair's Founder and Chief Executive Officer, has officially retired from the Company and its Board of Directors, effective today. Thi La, formerly the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer.

Originally announced in February 2025, the transition is part of a long-planned succession strategy approved by Corsair's Board of Directors. Ms. La steps into the CEO role after more than 14 years with Corsair, where she has held key executive positions in operations, product leadership, and strategic development.
Throughout her tenure, La played a pivotal role in transforming Corsair from a components-focused business into a diversified gaming and streaming brand with over 30 product lines. As COO since 2013 and President since 2021, she has overseen major expansion efforts, operational scaling, and product innovation that have positioned Corsair as a leader in its market. Corsair is poised to enter its next phase of growth under La's direction.

Andy Paul and three other engineers founded Corsair in Silicon Valley in 1994. In the Company's earliest years, Paul focused on building hardware for serious gamers like overclocking memory and other world-class DIY components. Under Paul's leadership and with Thi as President, Corsair expanded from hardware into peripherals through acquisitions and in-house innovation that have allowed the company to build leadership positions in new segments of the market.

R.I.P Corsair.

Your 760T was one of my most favourite cases and still in service with me since 2014 or 2016. Its probably going to last another 5-10 years before I retire it.

Why R.I.P?

Apart from the horrendous pricing of their peripherals?

Because she was also the COO of Razer at one point.

While this is completely unrelated to the CEO change, Corsair just shovels out garbage now. 4000D and Air 540 I owned were some of the cheapest feeling cases I’ve ever purchased. They’ve stretched themselves too thin and gobbled up too many smaller businesses/projects to put anything out that’s actually good quality.

They’ve been dead for a few years as far as I’m concerned.

It says she was COO of Corsair since 2013. I'm happy with my Corsair products in that era.

That isn't even close to voting age, unlike My Lian Li PC-A71B from 2008.
