Santa Ana-based Collectors Holdings Inc., parent organization of collectibles grader PSA, has appointed Naeem Ishaq as president and chief financial officer.
Ishaq has previously held senior leadership roles at Circle, Salesforce, Square and Checkr. Collectors said that in his new role, Ishaq will guide the company through its next phase of international expansion and continued investment in technology.
“Naeem’s experience building financial infrastructure at some of the world’s most innovative companies makes him a perfect fit for Collectors’ next stage of growth,” Collectors Chief Executive Nat Turner said in a statement.
Collectors reported last year that Pokémon trading cards became its number one category of items being graded.
“The collectibles industry is experiencing a transformational moment, with cards and memorabilia increasingly recognized as cultural and financial assets,” Ishaq added.
Collectors, which began in 1986 grading coins, was taken private in an $853 million deal in 2021. The company’s Santa Ana offices span nearly 287,000 square feet at the Pacific Center office complex.
