Min-Liang Tan: How Razer weathered the pandemic and hit $1.2B in sales

Razer reported last week that it hit $1.2 billion in 2020 revenues, up 48% from a year earlier. It also turned a slim profit ahead of plan, and it announced its how it wants to become a carbon-neutral sustainable company in the next decade.

Those are some big milestones for Min-Liang Tan, cofounder, chairman, and CEO of the gaming peripherals maker that has transformed itself into a “global lifestyle brand for gamers.” I spoke with Tan about the past year, which started with the company announcing that it would use its contractors to make a million masks to help with pandemic relief. That was an odd move for a company whose motto is “by gamers, for gamers.”
