Brandon Teitel’s wealth of experience at CNBC and work with numerous global brands at Postmates will be invaluable. I’m happy to welcome him to the team.”Six-month-old HQ Trivia, which has spawned several copycats, regularly garners millions of players to its daily streams, which are frequently hosted by the comedian Scott Rogowsky.
