Riot Video games, the developer behind smash-hit video video games like ‘League of Legends’ and ‘Valorant,’ has appointed India-origin A.Dylan Jadeja as the corporate’s new chief executing officer (CEO).

“We’re proud to announce that our present world president, A.Dylan Jadeja will turn out to be our subsequent CEO later this 12 months,” mentioned Riot Video games.

Dylan will succeed the corporate’s present CEO Nicolo Laurent, who has spent the previous 14 years in management roles at Riot, together with six as CEO.

He first joined Riot in 2011 as Chief Monetary Officer (CFO) and added Chief Working Officer (COO) to his function in 2014.

The CEO transition from Nicolo to Dylan will happen over the approaching months and must be accomplished by the top of 2023, after which Nicolo will stick with Riot in an advisory function, the corporate mentioned.

When the corporate’s founders transitioned to co-chair roles in 2017, Dylan was named President of Riot and has been one of many key leaders in crafting Riot’s technique and driving its tradition ahead.

“I’ve been right here for greater than 12 years, and in some ways, Riot is my dwelling; a house I’m deeply invested in, fiercely protecting of, and grateful for each single day,” mentioned Jadeja in a message to Rioters.

“As CEO, it’s truthful to imagine that I could do some issues otherwise than these earlier than me, however I wish to guarantee you that the purpose for us — collectively — won’t waver,” he added.
