North American esports and gaming group React Gaming has appointed Leigh Hughes as its interim chief executive.
Hughes takes up the position at the Toronto-listed owner of the Loot.bet brand immediately, replacing Laurent Benezra, who is stepping down from his current role as president and chief executive as well as director of the corporation. Benezra, who took over at React – then Intema Solutions – in 2019, will remain in a consultancy capacity.
Hughes is an entrepreneur and venture capitalist with over 20 years of experience working with private and public companies across the globe, particularly in North America, Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
