Summary
On this episode of the Sports Business Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Han Park , Founder & CEO of Payment Labs. After spending more than 20 years helping build ESL Gaming into a billion-dollar business, Han founded Payment Labs to solve one of the biggest challenges in sports: moving money across borders quickly, securely, and compliantly. Today, Payment Labs powers payments in 180+ countries and works with organizations including X Games, Microsoft, SEGA, AVP, APP, and The Snow League. We discuss how sports organizations can modernize their payment infrastructure, why selling into teams requires a different go-to-market strategy, and the role relationships play in winning business across the sports industry.
