Bridget Davidson has been an absolutely invaluable part of the growth of Loaded. As our President of Talent, she built a new standard not only in how we evaluate, manage, and develop talent but also in how we hire and grow our staff. The industry has changed significantly since Bridget joined the team in 2020 - between COVID, the platform wars, the explosion of TikTok and shortform content, and so much more, it’s been a frenetic five years, but Bridget helped us stay the course and put us in a position to support our talent no matter what. There’s a lot we could say about Bridget as a person, but her post shows even better than we?could how she’s always willing to make the hard choice to do what she knows is right. We’re proud of her for focusing on family and health, and wish her the absolute best in that pursuit. We also know that it’s not the last time we’ll see her - as an advisor, we will still be able to leverage her knowledge, experience, empathy, and determination that made Loaded the top firm for gaming talent. She may not be in the office, but there’s a lot of comfort knowing she’s only a phone call away. We’ll miss you in our daily life, Bridget, and we can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done for us, our talent, and Loaded as a whole. Best of luck on this next step in the journey!
Professional Update: I am transitioning to be an Advisor for Loaded going forward. I just want to start by saying how incredibly grateful I am to have had the opportunity to grow and lead this Talent Management org for the past five years. Building a world-class team of managers, and curating such an extraordinary and dynamic group of creators, has been one of the greatest honors of my career. This work has filled me with immense purpose and pride, which has made this decision to take a step back a difficult one. I’ve truly loved this job, and the amazing people I get to work with, but I’ve struggled on a number of other fronts. My health has not been in a good place since having my son, and it’s taken a massive toll on me to neglect that for the past few years. I've also lost several people very close to me recently, and have had to take on more responsibility for the loved ones I have left. It’s time to reprioritize some aspects of my life right now and focus on the health and wellbeing of myself and my family. I feel very fortunate to be in a position to make this choice for myself, and I’m deeply thankful to Loaded for their support and understanding during this time in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better process or outcome. We explored a number of ways to continue working together, and I’m looking forward to being able to do that as an advisor going forward. I’m eternally grateful to my incredible team of managers and the exceptional leadership group that will carry the torch. I have the utmost confidence in Josh Swartz, Brandon Freytag, Gaylen Malone, Yoni Ginsberg, and Ricardo Gonzalez continuing to relentlessly drive all of our efforts on the talent front forward. We’ve built what I truly believe to be the best management team in gaming and I’m excited to see Loaded, and all of our amazing talent, reach even greater heights in the months and years to come. To all the creators who have trusted me to support you and the work you do — thank you!! It’s been a dream come true, and I’ll always continue to support and cheer for you ??
