CD Projekt is losing a CEO but gaining a new studio
Amidst the surprise whirlwind of CD Projekt's major announcements today came a smaller but still very significant piece of internal news. Marcin Iwiński, who co-founded the studio in 1994 and currently serves as its co-CEO, is stepping down.
«For me, this is a huge moment. I've been at CD Projekt for almost 30 years and I have seen it go from a handful of passion-driven rebels to an internationally recognized developer of story-driven role playing games loved by millions globally,» Iwiński wrote in his farewell message. «Back when Michał Kiciński and I founded the company, I don't think either of us would have been able to imagine this incredible journey, not even in our wildest dreams.
»When I think about the future of CD Projekt, it is so exciting for me. Today, the company consists of over 1,200 people across offices all over the world. But CD Projekt has never been about physical place or scale—it's all about the huge amount of talent we have, and the hard work and dedication of everyone who chooses to work here."
While Iwiński is stepping down from his chief executive role, he's not leaving the company. Instead, he's going to become chairman of CD Projekt's supervisory board(opens in new tab), which oversees the activities of CD Projekt Capital Group—separate from the board of directors(opens in new tab)—and will of course also remain a major shareholder in the company.
«In my new non-executive role I will remain active and engaged dedicating my focus on supporting the entire management board,» he said. «I will also remain connected to the core of what makes us special, which is making the best storytelling games in the world and doing right by gamers.»
