Galaxy Racer first announced its expansion into the NA market a few months ago through its newly established HER Galaxy brand. It reportedly plans to build a portfolio of women gaming stars as part of its wider ambition to ‘develop the esports and gaming space into an inclusive, safe and exciting environment for women’.
The organisation’s NA offices are based in Los Angeles and led by Akemi Sue Fisher, the newly appointed CEO of Galaxy Racer North America.
