I know what a creative director does within the creative sector (kinda),
but what do they do in the sports/entertainment sector?

I'm just trying to imagine what he'll be doing exactly...
other than bossing people around of course

Grats Robert! He's a character, I'm glad we will still get to see him around!
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.

glad to hear, always liked him and his style. Was always annoyed when I heard the news about Dreamhack.

Always loved his online persona BossDH, very funny. Well, it might be the rise of DirectorGfinity ?
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

Congrats to Robert! I expect to see Gfinity getting bigger & better now.

I would suspect his involvement being in brand growth, branding and getting the word out about what Gfinity is beyond just a name that intermittently appears before a tournament with alright viewership numbers.

You should add champagne coordinator to that description, he's clearly over-qualified.

Surprised an organization wanted to be associated with him after the temp-tantrum he threw when DH gave him the boot.

I dont want to sound judgmental even though this post might seem that way, im not sure what he was fired for, but surely a CEO would have to do something pretty darn bad in order to get fired? Surely Gfinity would not want such a controversial character helping lead their charge for success considering how new they are? Just my take on the matter but then again i dont have the full story and it could be a fantastic appointment for both parties in the long term.

Wish them both the best of luck and congratulations nevertheless

If my gut feeling has anything to contribute in this I would bet a lot on it Robert Ohlen played already a big part in Gfinity setting up the Gfinity Arena gaming arena in Fulham, London. (http://www.gfinity.net/news/details/the-gfinity-arena-revealed)

He is the guy who made one of the only profitable esports enterprises in history so far without match fixing He's a smart guy, I wonder what he'll do.

Nah, people in power are knocked out of power for various reasons unrelated to performance. Politics is nasty business.
