Leadership
David Trykall
Founder
I’m the founder of Monolith, where we are building a competitive organization rooted in growth, structure, and long-term impact within the competitive EDH space. Our goal is to push the format forward, by raising the standard of competition and how teams operate within it.
At Monolith, we develop players, not just recruit them. We prioritize strong team culture and build systems that support consistent improvement and collaboration. We believe high-level success doesn’t come from talent alone, but from discipline, preparation, accountability, and the strength of the group around you.
Beyond gameplay, we’re committed to shaping a community that reflects the best that competitive EDH has to offer competitive, innovative, and accessible without lowering the bar.
Through content, events, and partnerships, we aim to build a more connected and sustainable ecosystem for the format and its players.
At its core, Monolith is about doing things with intention. Compete at a high level. Build something meaningful together. Improve every day and enjoy the process while we do it.
Lulu Carannante
General Manager

Starting out as an esports pro player, Lulu’s ambitions have shifted to a management role. Their experience has been enriched through working with many teams across different eSport circuits and this enables them to brings a fresh perspective to the MTG scene.
As a strong communicator that champions mental health and a member and advocate of the queer community, they bring a compassionate viewpoint that allows us to broaden our talent pool and build on the unique strengths of our individual team members.
Drawing on their 20 years of experience, Lulu takes a holistic approach to foster care and respect within the team.
Chris Glade
Director of Marketing & Design
Chris is Monolith’s Director of Marketing and Design and a member of its echelon of officers.
With almost two decades under his belt, Chris has been leveling up Monolith’s visibility with his stellar work in graphics and web.
Chris is incredibly creative and innovative with his approach to problem-solving. He takes a collaborative approach with Monolith to make sure the team provides a unified voice with their campaigns and deliverables to market. His creative brain analyzes every single step that goes into a successful project to make sure that message is clear and concise.
While both supportive and considerate, he is a team player who has strengthened the team and is someone Monolith looks to for guidance. When given a task or project his great intuition in understanding Monolith’s needs has been first-rate with the team.
