Sood will provide strategic counsel on all aspects of Razer’s business, from global operations to sales, marketing and product development, as the brand continues to evolve its business in the United States and abroad.

He additionally co-founded an array of networking and educational software solutions for medical professionals, as well as transactional and educational platforms for retail investors and traders.

Sood’s personal passions include using technology to improve wellness, including the development of technology-based products that help children with autism discover new ways to communicate.  In his spare time, he enjoys playing video games (Counterstrike, Call of Duty, Company of Heroes and Forza, among others), wakesurfing & wakeboarding, paddleboarding, cycling, racing cars and spending time with his family.

“Razer is an extraordinary company in an enviable position and I’m really excited to join the business at such an exciting time in its history,” says Sood. “I have admired Razer for many years.  The company makes incredible products, their brand is thoughtful yet soulful, and they have a diehard and growing fan base.  Moreover, the executive leadership is both inspired and inspiring.
