Chatroom platform Discord has named Tesa Aragones, former marketing head of photography app VSCO, as its new CMO following a blockbuster $100 million funding round in late June.

The startup, which is now valued at $3.5 billion, also named Clint Smith as its first-ever chief legal officer. The C-suite expansion comes as the company attempts to branch out from its roots as a host of gaming communities to encompass forums centered on everything from entertainment titles to education—much like Reddit’s tens of thousands of subreddits.

Aragones,
