He said LoL esports was a “bold dream amid a sea of scepticism,” Now they have managed to fill arenas, break records, and build one of the most significant esports communities.
According to a report by Strafe, Aletaha was hired by Riot in 2012 as a Senior Manager in Business Development before she took over the position of the Global Head for LoL esports in 2021. Prior to her journey with Riot, Aletaha was employed by Activision, another big name in the business.
