Erin Ashley Simon, multimedia personality and co-owner of XSET, helps shape the organization’s culture and facilitate connections and content in and around music, entertainment and the gaming. She provides more industry-focused opportunities for those from marginalized communities.
Having played soccer competitively at a Division I university, she understood the world of athletics and how athletes could use their voices to develop change. With a sports background combined with a producer’s mindset, Simon knew she wanted to stay in the world of storytelling. In 2018, she was laid off from a job. She invested in herself and decided to become a freelancer. She began covering gaming at the intersection of pop culture.
As she networked, Simon met DJ Clinton Sparks, Marco Mereu, Wil Eddins and Greg Selkoe, gaming executives. Together, they built XSET. They recently expanded the Erin Ashley Simon Esports Internship Fund at the University of Kentucky, designed for students interested in gaming and esports careers. The fund has grown to $5,000, with XSET and Simon focused on developing the fund in the coming years by attracting support from other companies and influencers....
