Funko has found its new board member.
The leading pop culture lifestyle brand revealed its appointment of Rich Paul to the company’s board of directors. The appointment is dependent on the pending sale of Funko stock by ACON Investments to The Chernin Group.
“Rich is a preeminent sports agent and leading business professional who brings a wealth of experience in sports and music that we believe will greatly benefit our fan community and licensing team,” says Andrew Perlmutter, chief executive officer at Funko
Funko is continuing to invest in its sports and music line of collectibles. Last year, Funko released GOLD, the brand’s line dedicated to iconic music and sports luminaries. Funko also transformed an area of its Funko Hollywood store into a shrine of Funko GOLD, featuring life-size statues and a larger-than-life throne for picture opportunities.
Alongside his board seat at Funko, Paul serves on the boards of Klutch Sports Group, United Talent Agency, and Coliseum Acquisition Corporation.
