Corsair CEO Andy Paul to retire July 1; President Thi La named successor
Corsair Gaming said CEO Andy Paul will retire from the CEO role and board effective July 1, 2025, and the board appointed President and COO Thi La as CEO effective the same date. The filing does not report any financial results or guidance changes tied to the transition, so the change is a leadership transition rather than a change in reported performance.
Key points
- Andy Paul notified the company of his retirement on February 10, 2025; he will serve as CEO until June 30, 2025 under a Transition Agreement
- Thi La, currently President and COO, was appointed CEO on February 11, 2025, effective July 1, 2025, on a three-year employment term at an annual base salary of $800,000
- La's target annual bonus is 120% of base salary, and the company intends to grant equity with an aggregate target value of $5 million, subject to board approval
- If Paul stays through June 30, 2025 and signs a release, his stock options and RSUs fully vest and his option exercise period extends 24 months
