Bayes Esports boosts C-Level leadership to ‘meet mid-term profitability goals’

Esports data provider Bayes Esports has introduced a restructuring to its leadership ranks with two new C-Level hires. 

Effective since 1 May, Amir Mirzaee is now the Co-Chief Executive Officer (Co-CEO), transferring from his previous role of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), and will be working closely with current CEO Martin Dachselt. 

The other change sees Christopher Bohlmann, previously VP Growth & Finance, becoming Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

According to the company, the transition in roles is “part of Bayes Esports’ strategic plan to drive sustainable growth and hit its mid-term goals of profitability”. 

On his latest endeavour, Amir Mirzaee commented: “Bayes Esports has cemented its position at the centre of the esports ecosystem, and this shift reflects our continued growth. Together with Martin, we will foster innovation and integrity within the esports industry, while forging partnerships with the very best in the industry.”

Mirzaee will help Bayes Esports navigate through an ongoing procedure that aims to safeguard licensed data in order to protect the commercial interests of the company and its partners. 

Together with Bohlmann, they bring 30 years of joint experience with careers involving previous stunts with multinational giants like JP Morgan and Google. 

Their work with Bayes Esports so far has seen them leading the company to closing a funding round at the end of 2022, a 50% YoY growth in 2023, as well as brokering a number of key partnerships in the esports sector.

Bohlmann added: “I have had the pleasure of working alongside the Bayes Esports team the past two years, and I want to continue building on this momentum. We are on an exciting path to profitability with many new opportunities in the pipeline. We haven’t even scratched the surface of our potential. 

“I look forward to this new era of Bayes Esports, where we navigate challenges and unlock new opportunities, by building an even stronger data-driven ecosystem, and thereby creating value for Bayes Esports and all our clients.”
