Change at CD Projekt's Top Brass After 13 Years
Top-level changes are being prepared at CD Projekt. Adam Kicinski intends to resign from his position as CEO.
During today's CD Projekt investor call, we learned that Adam Kicinski, who has been the company's CEO or co-CEO since 2010, will step down soon. This will happen in 2025.
You can find an interesting excerpt in 2:43:27 of the video below. Kicinski says:
"Next year marks my 30th anniversary of working at CD Projekt. (...) I will apply for the position of a member of the Supervisory Board from the beginning of 2025., so that I will remain on the Board for one year and three months from now.
On the other hand, the first step - such a transformational step - will be that I will change my position to Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) from January next year, which is just three months from now. Again there will be t CEOs in the company - fantastic, the company has always had at least two bosses. The t CEOs will be Adam Badowski and Michal Nowakowski - as of January 1 next year."
It is worth recalling that in October 2022 an identical decision was announced by Marcin Iwinski - co-founder of CD Projekt and its vice president at the time.
From the presentation in question, we also learned about extremely high sales results of separate news.
- Some players are worried that games like Cyberpunk 2077 could get banned in US under the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA) bill
- One of the gigs in Cyberpunk 2077 raised questions even at CD Projekt RED. „I would say that if you never have that discussion, you're probably not making art”
- „We tried, and it didn't work out.” CD Projekt RED has come to with its fate, confirming that it won't stop making games like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk
