Intiso has been working in the esports and gaming industry for over 14 years. Most recently she was the Director of Esports Services at ESL, after holding the position of Senior Partner Manager at the company for nearly two years.
Intiso joins NSG during a very active time for the company. Earlier this month, the company hired Jonathon Oudthone, formerly the President of Esports Stadium Arlington (ESA), as its Director of National Programming after ESA removed most of its staff — reportedly replacing the leadership team with the family of Texas Rangers majority owner Ray Davis who helped launch the venue.
In November NSG announced its monthly subscription service, Nerd Street+, which will reportedly launch in all NSG-owned Localhost facilities, including in Philadelphia, Denver, Austin, and St. Louis. Moreover, in September the company announced plans for a 40,000-square-foot ‘esports industry campus’ in Philadelphia known as ‘The Block’.
