It’s reasonable to assume that as CEO of One Esports, Carlos Alimurung has been in his chosen field of work for a long time. But he hasn’t. In fact, his industry is one without true veterans. That’s because esports as a profession wasn’t even a thing until about 10 years ago.
“When I graduated, there was no concept of esports as a profession,” Alimurung recalls. “I think it only started becoming a credible job around the time that I joined, which was between 2015 and 2016.” According to him, that was when esports teams began to realise the advantages of recruiting business talent and professionalising their management. Now a billion-dollar industry, its exponential growth is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Although he may not be a veteran CEO, Alimurung is definitely a veteran gamer. “I have always played games,” he reveals. “My first video game console was – and this is really going to date me – the ColecoVision. (Editor’s note: ColecoVision was launched in North America in 1982.) I grew up gaming and it has always been a part of my life.”

Best of the Best - Wine
Lounging in a Maldivian resort, wine-tasting in Bordeaux, putting a sports car through its paces at Sonoma Raceway, curating the best watches from Geneva, perusing the top menswear accoutrements in Milan, testing cutting-edge yachts in Monaco. The life of a Robb Report editor may sound glamorous, but-actually, we can't argue there. Even so, separating the wheat from the chaff is no small task in the luxury realm, since even the chaff can be mighty impressive. In our 36th annual Best of the Best issue, we again offer our assessment of the past year's most exemplary products, places and experiences. And yes, edition number 37 is already underway.
