Nerd Street: I would like to start by asking how you got into esports and how you eventually found leadership roles within FACEIT? This interview has been edited for length, style and clarity. In this Q&A, we spoke to Giulia Zecchini, director of commercial strategy at FACEIT, and Maria Laura Scuri, director of data at FACEIT, to talk about their rise up in the gaming industry, their own personal struggles and how they continue to push for more inclusion of women interested in pursuing esports as a career. One thing FACEIT is looking to push is their continued approach to creating an inclusive place for underrepresented communities in gaming. Since its formation in 2012, FACEIT has become a popular platform for online multiplayer games. FACEIT has become one of the esports industry’s most well-known tournament brands.
