Riot Games announced that Nicolo Laurent, the current CEO, will be stepping down from his position after six years with the company. A. Dylan Jadeja, Riot’s current global president, will replace him. Laurent has spent 14 years at Riot, and will stay on in an advisory capacity after the handover is completed. Laurent stated that he is leaving to spend more time with his family.
Jadeja has been with Riot since 2011 and was named president in 2017. Riot has said that Jadeja played a significant role in shaping the company’s strategy and culture, and that his promotion to CEO won’t change the company’s overall strategy. The transfer of leadership will take place over the coming months and should be completed by the end of the year.
Both Laurent and Jadeja sent emails to Riot employees explaining the transition. Laurent discussed choosing Jadeja as his successor, saying that Riot considered both internal and external candidates for the position. Jadeja affirmed his dedication to the company and its goals and said that he would spend the next few months engaging with Riot’s different departments to assess their strengths and weaknesses.
Riot is best known for League of Legends, but has expanded its offerings in recent years with games like Valorant and Legends of Runeterra. The studio has also seen success with its animated series Arcane, which was produced in conjunction with Netflix. Riot is currently working on several other Runeterra-based games, including a fighting game, an action RPG, and an MMORPG.
