- Outgoing CFO Jianchun Liu will remain in the role through June 30 and then transition to a principal advisor position, with the company saying his resignation was for personal reasons.
- Potter’s resume includes six years as Corsair Gaming’s CFO and prior finance roles at solar and semiconductor firms, experience the company cited as relevant to chip procurement, large capital raises, and power economics.
