Riot Games has announced its current global president A. Dylan Jadeja, will be the publisher’s next CEO. Jadeja is taking over for Nicolo Laurent who led the League of Legends and Valorant publisher for six years.
Jadeja has been with Riot Games in leadership positions since 2011. He initially served as its chief financial officer and added chief operating officer in 2014. Jadeja was promoted to global president when Riot Games cofounders Marc Merrill and Brandon Beck transitioned to co-chair roles in 2017.
“Dylan has been a strong advocate for many of Riot’s boldest choices and biggest bets over the years, and we know that as CEO, he’ll continue to push for what’s best for players and Rioters,” said Merrill and Beck, cofounders of Riot Games. “He leads with both intelligence and empathy, and he’s never been afraid to have the hard conversations that ultimately make Riot better. His high level of integrity, passion for serving players and commitment to Rioters make Dylan the ideal person to lead Riot, and we’re so happy that he’ll be stepping into this role.”
