According to an official statement, Jason Citron, a founder and CEO of Discord, will step down, and former director of Belisard and King’s Humam Sakhnini, Humam Sakhnini. A speech will officially begin his work on April 7. Citrons will remain as a member of the board of directors and will serve as the new CEO Advisor.
In a message sent to the staff and published on the Discord website, Citron said:
“With the new stage, I was thinking about how I could play the best role in the long -term success of the discord. The role of the CEO is constantly evolving, and I have repeatedly abandoned myself from this situation; Usually by transferring tasks and then turning to new management challenges. But now that I look at the future needs of the discord, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to just give up on myself. “
In an interview with the Decoder podcast last year, Citron said the discord had about 5 employees and attracted more than 5 million monthly active users. In the meantime, Stanislav Vishnevskiy, another discourse fellow, will remain a senior technology manager in the company.
A speech also said in a statement:
“I am looking forward to working with the talented discord team to expand the business while we are loyal to the company’s main mission and a particular link with the players community. “We are still at the beginning of the game’s impact on entertainment and culture, and the discord is in a unique position to play a central role in the future.”
This management change occurs as reports suggest that the Discord is likely to seek its initial stock release. In an interview with Gamesbeat, Citrons announced that the Discord had no plans to announce public release, but added, “As you can guess, hiring someone like Humam is a step in that direction.”
