Pittsburgh Knights launches women-focused initiative with PNC Bank

North American organisation Pittsburgh Knights has established a partnership with PNC Bank to launch an initiative geared around women in esports.

The initiative, which is PNC Bank’s first foray into esports, will be an effort to develop actionable solutions for gender equity disparities in the esports industry.

With the support of PNC Bank, Pittsburgh Knights will facilitate open and honest conversations about how esports industry insiders and affiliates can work together, act as leaders, and ultimately take steps towards opening up competing in esports to a more diverse group of people.

James O’Connor, President of Pittsburgh Knights, commented in a release: “We have so much respect for PNC and strive to follow their lead in the way they support their communities.
