Millennial Esports (TSXV:GAME) has announced the appointment of Stephen Shoemaker to lead the financial operations and finance team at the company.
As quoted in the press release:
Leveraging his expertise from the technology and hospitality industries, Shoemaker has built companies in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, leading finance teams in global organizations with high growth profiles, scale, and operating complexity.
“We are very pleased to add Stephen Shoemaker, who thrives in entrepreneurial high-growth situations, to the Millennial Esports team,” said Alex Igelman, CEO, Millennial Esports. “Stephen has previously excelled in collaborative environments where he can positively impact the vision and strategy of the organization. His solid foundation of accounting, finance, and business skills promises to be a key asset as we look to maximize growth while strategically integrating our various properties.”
Mr. Shoemaker previously raised more than US$600 million for the Ho Tram Strip integrated resort development in Vietnam, advancing from CFO to CEO/Chairman of the Board of Ho Tram Project Company. During that time, he was instrumental in taking the project from merely a concept to a 400-acre property on the Vietnamese coast with a fully operating 5-star resort, casino, and 18-hole Greg Norman designed golf course.
“Boasting a variety of strategic assets, Millennial Esports is in a unique position to benefit from the ongoing growth of the Esports industry and I am extremely pleased to be joining the team at such an exciting time,” said Mr. Shoemaker. “With the recent purchase of Eden Games and the incredible potential of the firm’s blockchain initiative, 2018 promises to be a great year for Millennial and I can’t wait to get started.”
Prior to his role in the integrated resort development, Shoemaker spent twelve years in progressively more critical roles at three communications companies: NuVox Communications, GT Group Telecom, and Qwest Communications. His key accomplishments included leading financial teams on a Nasdaq/TSE dual-listed IPO, the rapid integration of six large-scale mergers and acquisitions in North America, a Joint Venture in Europe, and capital raises of more than US$5 billion in the telecommunications industry.
