Corsair Announces CFO Transition as Part of Long-Term Growth Strategy

Corsair Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRSR) ("Corsair" or the "Company"), a leading global provider and innovator of high-performance products for gamers, streamers, content-creators, gaming PC builders, and SIM driving enthusiasts, today announced a transition as part of its long-term growth strategy, with Gordon Mattingly joining Corsair effective December 2, 2025 as Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Michael G. Potter, Corsair's current Chief Financial Officer. Corsair expects Mr. Potter will remain as an employee in an advisory capacity to the CEO through December 31, 2025 and will continue as a consultant through March 31, 2026 to help ensure a smooth transition.

Gordon Mattingly is a seasoned executive who brings more than 20 years of financial, strategic, and operational leadership across the consumer electronics and SaaS sectors within multinational, publicly traded companies. From 2018 to 2022, as SVP of Finance and subsequently CFO of Arlo Technologies (NYSE:ARLO), he played a central role in several major milestones: the company's spin-off from NETGEAR (NASDAQ:NTGR), its successful Initial Public Offering (IPO), and its pivotal transformation from a hardware-only business to a subscription-led model. Mattingly also held various senior finance roles at NETGEAR from 2003 to 2018. Most recently, he served as CFO at founder-led Universal Audio, Inc., overseeing financial planning and reporting, supply chain management, and legal affairs. He holds a B.Sc. in Economics and Accountancy from the University of Southampton and is a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor.

"We thank Michael for his leadership during our IPO and his many significant contributions, including the seamless integration of our recent Fanatec acquisition," said Thi La, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair. "As Corsair moves into its next phase of growth, we are delighted to have Gordon's combination of consumer hardware experience, SaaS expertise, and operational discipline to help accelerate execution and drive the transformative business and financial outcomes we've set for the company."

"I am proud of my accomplishments at Corsair over the last six years and of the successful expansion of the Company's leadership position," said Michael G. Potter. "With the Company now firmly on track for continued success under the leadership of CEO Thi La, I am taking this opportunity to pursue new challenges. I wish Corsair and my colleagues continued success."

Gordon Mattingly, Corsair's incoming Chief Financial Officer, commented, "I am thrilled to join Corsair at this exciting moment. My experience leading Arlo's successful transition to a subscription-first model, particularly in investor relations and business model transformation, is directly aligned with the opportunities here. I am energized by the potential to help Corsair drive recurring revenue and sustained margin expansion, evolve its business, refine its market story, and drive significant long-term shareholder value through thoughtful financial leadership and collaboration."
