San Diego, CA - March 18, 2026

Leading gaming accessories maker Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: TBCH), today announced a series of strategic marketing leadership appointments that mark the next chapter in the Company's brand transformation.

The Company recently hired Kate Zibell as Chief Marketing Officer, a force in modern marketing known for building high-performing teams and driving growth across global consumer brands, including direct-to-consumer strategies. Zibell's hire represents a pivotal step in repositioning Turtle Beach® as a cultural challenger brand at the intersection of gaming, lifestyle, and entertainment.

Following her arrival, Zibell moved quickly to strengthen her leadership bench, announcing two key hires from global holding company networks: Kim DeNapoli as Senior Vice President, Head of Brand, and Julie Regimand as Head of Creative Operations.

"These moves represent the evolution of Turtle Beach from a product-led company to a brand-driven organization," said Cris Keirn, Chief Executive Officer of Turtle Beach. "Kate has a unique ability to pair creative vision with operational excellence, and Kim and Julie bring world-class expertise that will redefine how we connect with players and fans around the world."

DeNapoli, an award-winning strategist and creative brand builder, joins Turtle Beach as a veteran of Publicis Media, FCB and Ogilvy where she led Entertainment and Brand Strategy. Known for fusing creativity, data, and cultural insight, DeNapoli will lead global brand strategy, creative direction, media and creator partnerships, driving Turtle Beach's next phase of growth through brand storytelling and fan engagement.

Regimand brings deep experience from her leadership roles at Publicis Media and IPG, where she built high-performing teams and scalable creative production models spanning global brands. She is known for architecting AI-powered creative systems and workflows that accelerate collaboration, increase speed to market, and elevate output quality. Regimand will lead global creative production operations helping to modernize the organization's approach to production.

"I'm incredibly excited about the team we're building," said Zibell. "Kim and Julie each bring a modern, forward-looking mindset and a deep understanding of where creativity, technology, and culture converge. Together, we're shaping the future of Turtle Beach as a brand that connects deeply with players and leads the conversation in gaming and beyond."

These strategic appointments underscore Turtle Beach's commitment to elevating creativity, innovation, and storytelling as core drivers of its next stage of growth, ensuring the brand continues to define what it means to bring more fun to your gaming.
